Jazaka'Allahu ghairan for the informative video. One question; for the visa on arrival, if you want to perform umrah. Should you apply for the umrah visa or tourist visa? Follow-up question; Is there any price differnce?
Thank you for your compliment on my video. You can perform Umrah on a tourist visa as well. I have a tourist visa and I am in Madina right now and will be going to Mekkah to perform Umrah in two days Insha’Allah. There is no price difference as far as I know. Thank you for watching my video and for your question. Please don’t forget to subscribe my channel for more updates and more informative videos.
Thank you for the video. Just out of curiosity: You travelled to Jeddah, which is inside the miqat zone, and proceeded to Makkah Mukarramah. Where did you enter your state of ihram for umrah? You don't appear to be in ihram.
Well first of all thank you for watching my video. To answer your question. They will announce in the plane about the location of the miqat. I decided to do go to masjid Aisha for my miqat. I hope I answered your question. Please consider subscribing my channel for more information and updates . Thanks
@@hilifetravel8764 In that case, you would have violated the sanctity of the miqat (i.e., by entering the miqat without being in a state of ihram). Masjid 'A'ishah in Tan'im (Makkah) is not the miqat - it is just outside the Haram zone. That's where you would have gone to enter ihram for any additional umrahs, after your first umrah. If you have left and are back home in the USA, you will have to give the penalty of a dam for the violation. Please consult with 'ulama. The same may apply to the lady with you.

Walaikum salam brother, the answer of your question is so far the Saudi government is only accepting credit cards and debit cards for visa on arrival fee. They may change it in the future but so far they are only accepting credit cards and debit cards. May Allah swt give you the opportunity to go and perform umrah. Ameen.

First of all thank you so much your prayers and watching me video. To answer your question the only thing you need is your valid passport, valid return ticket and a hotel with confirmation and its address. If you are holding a European Union passport or you have a valid Schengen visa and you have traveled on it then you can apply for visa on arrival at any airport in Saudi Arabia. The visa fees is $128 for one year multiple entries. Please keep me and my family in your prayers when you are performing Umrah. May Allah swt accept your prayers and Umrah.

Thank you for watching my video. To answer your question, the answer is Yes, you can get visa on arrival on US passport in Saudi Arabia.

Hi. I have two questions. I saw that you were nice enough to reply to everyone so I thought I should ask. First I booked through Saudi airlines and did not apply for the visa when I was booking. I know that I will be eligible for free transit visa as I am staying for 3 days. But since I didnt apply for it, I will need to ask for it when I reach. So will that be visa on arrival and I will not be able to avail the free transit visa offer? Second how long is the queue for the visa on arrival. How many desks there? How long do you think it will gake the 3 of us to get visas?
Thank you for your question. Since you are staying for three days in my opinion it will be considered as a visa on arrival because a transit visa is usually for 24 to 48 hours. But you can always ask the immigration officer at the counter. Once again thank you for your question and thank you for watching my video. Please consider subscribing my channel for more upcoming informative videos.
First of all thank you for watching my video and the comment. To answer your question, yes I added the background music in the video. Just wanted to add little more spice in the video. I hope you liked it? Please consider subscribing my channel if you can for more upcoming content. Thanks again for your comment and for watching my videos.
Thank you so much for watching my video. To answer your question no I didn’t take any photographs with me. When you arrive at the airport just before the immigration counters there is some kiosk where you scan your passport and there is a camera in the kiosk which takes your photo and then you put all your information and pay the visa fee. If you have any problems at the kiosk there is some immigration offices sitting next to the kiosks you can go to them and they will check your passport and take your picture and charge you the visa fee. I hope that I was able to answer your question. If possible please subscribe my channel for more informative videos coming soon. Thanks again.
Great video bhai. Did the checkin counter at the departure country check if u needed a visa or did they let you check in. I am from New Zealand and wondering if I can get visa on arrival. My evisa online was rejected with no explanation so thinking maybe I should try to get visa on arrival if possible
Thank you so much for the compliment. No. The check in counter of the airlines had prior information about visa on arrival for certain countries. You can get the visa on arrival once you arrive inJeddah or any other city of Saudi Arabia. Usually they have the manual services and the automated system. Just make sure that New Zealand is on list of the countries for Saudi Arabia visa on arrival. Thanks again for watching my video. Please consider subscribing my channel if you can for more upcoming videos. Thanks
It took less then ten minutes for the visa on line application and another half hour for the immigration process add another 10 minutes for the luggage and the customs process. The train station is inside the terminal building. Once you come out of the customs make a right turn and then just go straight don’t take escalators down just go straight and you will see the train station. You can buy the tickets online when you download the Hermain train app. It is cheaper to buy it online. I hope this helps you understand the process. Thanks for watching my video.

@@itsssmadmadders7801 first of all I thank you for watching my video. It made me feel so much better. To answer your question, I have to ask you, what type of country’s passport do you have? If you have a EU, US, Canadian passport or if you have a valid US passport, UK, or Schengen Zone visa and you have traveled to these countries in the past then you can avail the visa on arrival facility at any of the Saudi Arabia airports. But just to make sure you can call your airline and also verify with them. I hope this helps you understand the visa process. Thank you for your question.

Thank you very much for the video, one question I am traveling to Jeddah from Madrid and I make a 3-hour stopover to then go to India and I have a Colombian passport. Would I need a transit visa?

I am planning a trip with different airlines (Budapest - Jeddah, Wizz air) and (Jeddah - Bangalore, Saudia airlines) I will not have a single ticket but will have two tickets, hand luggage and a boarding pass of Saudia airlines and probably arrival and departure will take place at different terminals . I will not buy a visa in Saudi Arabia. Is it possible to travel through the transit corridor without a visa? That is, I can board a Saudia airlines plane in Jeddah?
As long as you don’t have any checked bags than you can use the transfer passengers area and then go to the respective gate of the Saudi Arabian Airlines. Both of the airlines comes and depart from the same terminal which is Jeddah airport terminal 1.
You can get a private either both from inside and outside the terminal building. There are many private car owners will offer you their service. All you have to do is to negotiate with them.

Answer of your question is No. You don’t have to provide anything like a bank statement or any sort of documentation. All you have to follow is the directions from the signs posted on the wall just follow the signs which tells you if you have anything thing to declare go through red area or nothing to declare go through the green area.

Jazaka'Allahu ghairan for the informative video. One question; for the visa on arrival, if you want to perform umrah. Should you apply for the umrah visa or tourist visa? Follow-up question; Is there any price differnce?
Thank you for your compliment on my video. You can perform Umrah on a tourist visa as well.

Thank you for the video. Just out of curiosity: You travelled to Jeddah, which is inside the miqat zone, and proceeded to Makkah Mukarramah. Where did you enter your state of ihram for umrah? You don't appear to be in ihram.

I hope I answered your question. Please consider subscribing my channel for more information and updates . Thanks
@@hilifetravel8764
In that case, you would have violated the sanctity of the miqat (i.e., by entering the miqat without being in a state of ihram). Masjid 'A'ishah in Tan'im (Makkah) is not the miqat - it is just outside the Haram zone. That's where you would have gone to enter ihram for any additional umrahs, after your first umrah. If you have left and are back home in the USA, you will have to give the penalty of a dam for the violation. Please consult with 'ulama. The same may apply to the lady with you.

Hi. I have two questions. I saw that you were nice enough to reply to everyone so I thought I should ask. First I booked through Saudi airlines and did not apply for the visa when I was booking. I know that I will be eligible for free transit visa as I am staying for 3 days. But since I didnt apply for it, I will need to ask for it when I reach. So will that be visa on arrival and I will not be able to avail the free transit visa offer?
Second how long is the queue for the visa on arrival. How many desks there? How long do you think it will gake the 3 of us to get visas?
Thank you for your question. Since you are staying for three days in my opinion it will be considered as a visa on arrival because a transit visa is usually for 24 to 48 hours. But you can always ask the immigration officer at the counter. Once again thank you for your question and thank you for watching my video.

Thank you for the video. Do you take photographs on the spot when u do visa on arrival? Or do you need to have them with you?
Thank you so much for watching my video. To answer your question no I didn’t take any photographs with me. When you arrive at the airport just before the immigration counters there is some kiosk where you scan your passport and there is a camera in the kiosk which takes your photo and then you put all your information and pay the visa fee. If you have any problems at the kiosk there is some immigration offices sitting next to the kiosks you can go to them and they will check your passport and take your picture and charge you the visa fee.

How much time did the process take for visa on arrival? I actually have to book a train ticket from Jeddah Airport to Madinah.
It took less then ten minutes for the visa on line application and another half hour for the immigration process add another 10 minutes for the luggage and the customs process. The train station is inside the terminal building. Once you come out of the customs make a right turn and then just go straight don’t take escalators down just go straight and you will see the train station.

Hi iwanted to know if i can pay visa on arrival by my pakistani debit card since i dont have any credit card thank you so much for kinf information jazakallah
First of all thank you so much for watching my video and for your question. To answer your question, the answer is yes. As long as your debit card has a Visa or Master Card logo then you can pay for your visa on arrival fee at the airport. Just make sure that you inform your bank that you are traveling abroad so they will clear the transaction otherwise if forget to inform your bank about your travel plans they will decline your transaction because the bank will think it is a fraudulent transaction.

Hi, The video in informative. I have a question. For a US permanent resident, how does the visa on arrival work? There is information only for those who have US visa. But recently I saw on Saudia airline's website that US permanent residents can also apply for visa on arrival. Can you please confirm this? Also I saw another video that an EU resident was denied boarding on Saudia Airlines. Also to obtain visa on arrival, does one need to fly only by Saudia airlines?
Thanks so much.
Well, let me thank you first for watching my video. To answer your question, yes as a permanent resident of the United States you get the visa on arrival as well. I met a person at the Paris airport who had US permanent residency he told me that he was going to get the visa on arrival. He also told me that his wife was also a permanent resident. So to answer your question the answer is yes and you stated yourself as well that Saudi Arabian Airlines website also has this information.

@@hilifetravel8764 Thanks for replying! My booking is with Saudi Arabian airlines and they told me that my luggage will be checked through to Madinah without the need to recheck in. So I just need to go through passport control?
@@threea1061 you still have go through passport control and customs. Remember eveen though you luggage is checked for Madinah your customs will be done at the port of arrival which could be Jeddah or Riyadh. You still have to pick up your luggage and once through customs drop it off at the Saudia airlines counter after the customs. If you arrival airport was Madinah your customs would have been done in Madinah. Since you are arriving in Jeddah and then onwards to Madinah you have to go through customs in Jeddah.

and how much its fees? and how much time it is valid for ?
i hear that it is valid for 96 hours, and one year with multipul entries?
and is there any chance of rejection of visa on arrival?
please reply soon.....
Walaikum salam bhai, if you are traveling onward to another country with a stopover in Jeddah than you do qualify for the transit visa for Saudi Arabia. But if you are just to Saudi Arabia only for the umrah than you can get visa on arrival if you have an American passport or European passport or British passport, you can also get the visa on arrival if you have a valid visa for the USA and have visited the USA before. You can also get visa on arrival if you have permanent residence of European countries or a permanent residence of USA. I hope that I answered your question.

Hello Sir,
Thank you for the video. I have few questions. Is it required to book the Umrah slot on Eatmarna/ nusuk app after receiving the visa-on arrival visa if we want to perform umrah within few hours of arriving in Jeddah?
Are women traveling without Mahram allowed to apply on-arrival visa to perform Umrah?
Thank you for your question. To answer it , Once you have the visa on arrival you can go directly to the Haram and perform Umrah no need to register yourself on the app. The app was during the pandemic. To answer your second question, there is no need for mahram for women traveling alone. You can go to Saudi Arabia alone and perform Umrah. I hope that I answered your question.

Can you please share your contact if you don't mind? This is the answer I had been looking for 5-6 days. I have the student residency of Germany, but I was confused if it is allowed to get the e-visa on the Student Residency/Temporary or Student Residence Permit. That is because our residency card is not either a Tourist/Business Visit or a Permanent Residence as mentioned on the portal of the e-visa application for Saudi Arabia.
Also, please can you share your experience when you enter and exit Saudi Arabia? I need to know if they really check the Permanent Residence card or only the student residency card will work even if they check it.
