Saudi Arabia visa on arrival for citizens of Romania: conditions and fees 2026

Yes, but the process is straightforward for Romanian nationals, who are among the nationalities eligible for the online tourist visa. The recommended route is the e-Visa applied for from Romania before departure; a visa on arrival may also be issued to eligible travellers at the airport.

Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a photo, your itinerary and proof of accommodation. The tourist visa usually includes mandatory medical insurance, whose cost is added to the fee. The exact amount is set by the official portal: check it there for the current price.

From Romania, the e-Visa application is made on the official portal visa.mofa.gov.sa (or via the Visit Saudi tourism service). You create an account, fill in the form, upload the photo and pay online. No consular appointment is needed for this tourist visa.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Romania 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.

The e-Visa is often issued quickly, but the timeframe is not guaranteed: allow a few days. The tourist visa is generally multiple-entry and valid for one year, with a capped stay per visit: check these conditions on the official source. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the approval.

Classic pitfalls: using an unofficial intermediary site that overcharges, confusing the tourist visa with the Umrah visa, or overlooking local dress and conduct rules. Make sure the name entered matches the passport and check the stay conditions on the official source.
