Invited to Saudi Arabia by a Saudi citizen friend or relative? Once your host has obtained the authorisation letter, we handle the UK side for you: document review, the online application, your biometric appointment and meet and greet at the Saudi Visa Centre.
Fixed service fee. The Saudi visa fee and insurance are paid at the Visa Centre.

This visa is for people invited by a Saudi citizen. Unlike a tourist visa, it needs a host inside Saudi Arabia who starts the application.
Your Saudi citizen host applies through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) using Absher or the visa platform. Once approved, MoFA issues an authorisation letter, which your host sends to you.
We review your documents, complete the online application, book your biometric appointment in London and meet you there on the day.
Your host is a Saudi national who applies through MoFA. Authorisation letter and London biometrics required. This page.
Your relative is a foreign national living in Saudi Arabia. See the Family Visit Visa.
Travelling for tourism with no sponsor? See the Tourist Visa or, with a British passport, the Saudi ETA.
At least 6 months’ validity from your travel date, with two blank pages facing each other.
Recent, passport-sized, against a plain white background.
The MoFA authorisation letter for your visit, plus a copy of your host’s ID.
Mandatory cover for your stay, bought at the Saudi Visa Centre when the visa is issued.
The authorisation letter is essential. It carries the reference number that links your UK application to your host’s MoFA request, and without it the application can’t go ahead. If your host hasn’t applied yet, ask them to do so before you gather your UK documents. Send us a copy and we’ll confirm it’s complete.
Passport copy, photographs and the authorisation letter. We review them within one working day.
We complete the Saudi online application, matching the authorisation letter to your passport exactly.
We book your appointment at the Saudi Visa Centre in London and email you to confirm a suitable time.
You attend in person. We meet you outside the centre to make sure you have everything before you go in.
The visa is usually stamped in your passport within 2–3 working days of biometrics.
We brief you on your visa conditions, entry requirements and what to expect on arrival.
Send us your authorisation letter and we’ll confirm it’s complete, then take care of the rest.
