Saudi Multiple-Entry Visa for UAE Residents
A 1-year, multiple-entry Saudi eVisa for UAE residents of every nationality — for tourism, business, family visits and Umrah. Applied online from Abu Dhabi or Dubai.
About the Saudi Multiple-Entry Visa for UAE Residents
Since late 2025, Saudi Arabia has opened a 1-year, multiple-entry visa to UAE residents of almost every nationality — including Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, Egyptian, Bangladeshi and Western passport holders — using their valid UAE residence permit. It covers tourism, business meetings, visiting family, and performing Umrah, with each stay of up to 90 days. There is no embassy visit: the eVisa is issued online. Big Bird Travel, based in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, checks your eligibility, prepares the application correctly (including the mandatory medical insurance and meningitis vaccination requirement), and can bundle your Jeddah, Madinah or Riyadh flights, hotels near the Haramain, and a complete Umrah package — all from one team.
Who Can Apply
- UAE residents of any eligible nationality holding a valid UAE residence permit — the residence unlocks the eVisa route
- Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, Egyptian, Bangladeshi and other Asian & African nationals residing in the UAE
- British, American, European, Canadian and Australian passport holders (also eligible for the standard Saudi tourist eVisa)
- Travellers going for tourism, business meetings, family visits, or Umrah
- GCC residents whose UAE residence permit has adequate remaining validity (generally at least 3 months)
The Saudi eVisa for UAE residents is applied online and is usually approved within 1–3 working days. Apply at least a few days before departure to allow for document checks. Make sure your UAE residence permit has enough validity (generally at least 3 months) and that you have a valid meningitis (ACWY) vaccination certificate before you travel — it is checked on arrival, particularly for Umrah. Requirements and fees are set by the Saudi authorities and can change; always confirm the current details with us before booking flights.
We assist with document preparation, form completion, and submission guidance. Visa decisions are made solely by the relevant immigration authority.

The details that catch UAE travellers out at the Saudi border
The most common surprise is the meningitis (ACWY) vaccination — it is required for entry, checked at the airport, and must be done in advance. The second is UAE residence validity — the visa route depends on it, so it generally needs at least 3 months left.
We flag both before you book, arrange the insurance inside the application, and confirm your exact route by nationality — so nothing goes wrong at the gate.

What most Saudi-visa pages don't tell UAE residents
The basics are everywhere. These are the details that decide whether your Saudi trip — or Umrah — goes smoothly.
The meningitis (ACWY) vaccine is checked on arrival
Saudi Arabia requires a valid meningococcal ACWY vaccination certificate for entry — and it is enforced at the airport, especially for Umrah. The certificate must usually be issued at least 10 days before travel and be within its validity window. We tell you exactly what is needed before you fly so you are never turned back.
Your UAE residence must have enough validity
This visa route is unlocked by your UAE residence permit, so it generally needs at least 3 months of remaining validity when you apply. If your residence is close to expiry, we check eligibility first — rather than have the application rejected after you have paid.
Medical insurance is built into the fee
The Saudi eVisa now includes mandatory medical insurance inside the application, which is why the total is around AED 640–650 rather than just the visa fee. We handle the insurance step for you so the policy is valid and accepted.
Umrah on the eVisa vs a dedicated Umrah visa
You can perform Umrah on the 1-year multiple-entry eVisa (90 days per visit) — convenient if you also travel for tourism or business. A separate dedicated Umrah visa also exists (shorter stay). We advise which route fits your plans and budget, and package the whole journey.
Women can travel for Umrah without a mahram
Saudi Arabia allows women to perform Umrah without a male guardian (mahram). Female UAE residents can apply for the visa and travel independently or in a group. We arrange group departures and women-friendly hotel options near the Haram.
One visa, many cities — plan the whole trip
The multiple-entry visa lets you combine Makkah and Madinah with Jeddah, Riyadh, AlUla or Diriyah across the year. We book flights from Abu Dhabi (AUH) and Dubai (DXB), hotels near the Haramain or in the cities, and transfers — so it is all handled in one place.
Not sure about your eligibility or Umrah route?
Send your nationality, UAE residence status and travel purpose. We'll confirm the route and an honest price — usually within the hour.
