Do I need a visa for Saudi Arabia from Poland?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Polish nationals can obtain a tourist e-Visa for Saudi Arabia, applied for online before departure, with a visa-on-arrival option for eligible travellers.
Saudi Arabia is among the countries that issue Polish citizens a tourist e-Visa and, for eligible travellers, a visa on arrival. The recommended route remains applying online before travel on the official portal. Your passport must remain valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, but the process is streamlined. Polish travellers can apply for a tourist e-Visa online; a visa on arrival is also offered to eligible nationalities at certain airports. This visa covers tourism, family visits and some events; it is not valid for work.
How and where to apply
Apply online on the official portal visa.mofa.gov.sa. You create an account, enter your details, upload a photo and pay the fee by card. The approved e-Visa, often multiple-entry, is emailed to you and presented on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a recent passport photo, an accommodation address and a payment card. Travel medical insurance is usually bundled with the e-Visa. The exact fee is not confirmed here: check the official portal at the time of application, as tariffs can change.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa is often issued quickly, but the timeline is not guaranteed: allow a few days. Prefer the online application over visa on arrival to avoid airport queues. Read up on local dress codes and conduct rules before you travel.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes are assuming the e-Visa allows work, presenting a passport with less than six months' validity, and confusing the tourist visa with the Umrah permit reserved for pilgrims. Check that the name entered matches your passport exactly.
