Guide last updated August 20, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport validity: Must be valid for at least six (6) months beyond the intended stay in Saudi Arabia.
  • Specific forms: No specific pre-arrival application form is usually required for a standard tourist visa on arrival.
  • Financial proof: While not always explicitly requested, travelers should be prepared to show sufficient funds to cover their stay. No specific minimum amount is publicly stated for tourist visas on arrival, but generally, a few hundred USD per week is a reasonable guideline.
  • Accommodation and return ticket: Proof of confirmed hotel bookings for the duration of the stay and a confirmed return or onward ticket is typically required.
  • Photo spec: Passport-sized photographs (usually 2, 35mm x 45mm, white background) may be requested at the port of entry, though often not strictly enforced for visa on arrival.
  • Biometrics: Fingerprints may be collected upon arrival at the immigration counter. This is part of the standard entry process at major international airports.
  • Travel health insurance: Travel medical insurance is strongly recommended but not always a mandatory requirement for visa issuance at arrival for tourist purposes. It is prudent to have comprehensive coverage.

Visa types

  • Tourist Visa (Visa on Arrival): This is the most common category for Andorra citizens visiting for leisure.
  • Validity: Typically issued for a stay of up to 90 days.
  • Max stay: Up to 90 days per visit.
  • Entry: Usually single entry.
  • Approximate fee: SAR 300 (approximately 80 USD), payable in cash or by card. Fees can vary slightly.

Visa on arrival

  • Which ports: Available at major international airports in Saudi Arabia, including King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh, King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) in Jeddah, and King Fahd International Airport (DMM) in Dammam.
  • Steps: Approach the immigration counter, present your passport, proof of return ticket, and be prepared for potential questions about your purpose of visit and accommodation. You will then pay the visa fee and have your biometrics (fingerprints) taken.
  • Fee and accepted currencies: The fee is SAR 300. USD is widely accepted for payment, but having the exact amount in SAR is ideal to avoid currency exchange issues or unfavorable rates. Major credit/debit cards are also generally accepted.
  • Queue tips: Arrive at immigration during off-peak hours if possible. Have all required documents ready to expedite the process.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: SAR 300 (approximately 80 USD).
  • VFS/BLS service fee: Not applicable for visa on arrival.
  • Total cost estimate: Approximately 80 USD.
  • Standard processing time: The visa is issued immediately upon arrival, typically within 15-30 minutes depending on queues and immigration workload.
  • Express/priority option: Not available for visa on arrival. The processing time is as standard.

Tips for Andorra travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: No advance application is needed for the tourist visa on arrival. Ensure your passport is valid and you have your return ticket.
  • Common rejection reasons for Andorra applicants specifically: While specific rejection reasons for Andorra citizens are not publicly detailed, general reasons include insufficient passport validity, lack of a return ticket, insufficient funds, or security concerns. Adhering to the requirements listed above minimizes risk.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: For tourist visas on arrival, direct application at the port of entry is the method; VFS/BLS or embassy applications are for other visa types requiring prior processing.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: It is always advisable to check the official travel advisories issued by the Andorran Ministry of Foreign Affairs or equivalent body before traveling. Saudi Arabia has specific cultural norms and dress codes that travelers should be aware of.
  • Extension options inside Saudi Arabia: Visa extensions within Saudi Arabia are generally not straightforward for tourist visas obtained on arrival and are typically only granted in exceptional circumstances by the relevant authorities. It is best to plan your trip within the initial visa duration.
