Travel to Saudi Arabia
Saudi Visa Information for Canadian Travellers
Saudi Arabia operates an official electronic tourist visa system for eligible international travellers.
Canadian citizens are currently eligible to apply for the Saudi tourist eVisa.
The tourist eVisa is a one-year multiple-entry visa that allows eligible visitors to spend up to 90 days in Saudi Arabia under the applicable conditions.
The tourist visa can be used for tourism-related activities, leisure, visiting family and relatives, events and Umrah outside the Hajj pilgrimage. It is not intended for activities such as study.
Canadian applicants can complete the eligible tourist visa procedure through Saudi Arabia’s official eVisa portal without using the Embassy as the normal application route.
Travellers visiting Saudi Arabia for work, study, Hajj or another purpose should use the visa procedure applicable to that specific activity rather than relying on the tourist eVisa.
