How and where to apply
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.

Processing and tips
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.
