Visa for Saudi Arabia from Madagascar: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. Travellers holding a Madagascar passport must obtain a consular visa before departing for Saudi Arabia. The procedure is handled by the relevant Saudi embassy or consulate. The associated length of stay for the visa is 90 days.

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

• Government fee300 SAR

  Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.

• Application centre feeVariable, set by the operator

  Only when the post uses an external centre. The amount is set locally and we do not publish a figure we cannot verify.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

  Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

• ExtrasVariable

  Courier return, SMS tracking, compliant photo, insurance, sworn translation or legalisation, depending on what the post requires.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

A standard application file includes an application form, photographs, and evidence of accommodation, financial resources and insurance. The embassy or consulate can specify the documents required for your individual situation. For applicable fees and payment arrangements, consult the official portal or the relevant embassy.

Book an appointment with the relevant embassy or consulate before departure. Complete the required application form and submit the supporting file according to the consular authority's instructions. Confirm appointment, submission and tracking procedures through the official portal or with the embassy.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Madagascar, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Madagascar but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing times may vary depending on the embassy, consulate and time of submission. Apply well in advance and check that every document is complete before the appointment. Do not purchase tickets before the visa has been issued.

Avoid attending without an appointment or submitting an incomplete form. Do not substitute requested supporting documents with items that have not been accepted by the consular authority. Check the official portal or the embassy directly before submitting the application.
