Consulate of Saudi Arabia
Consulate of Saudi Arabia
The Consulate of Saudi Arabia in Dubai serves citizens of the country and issues visas for entry to Saudi Arabia, including pilgrimage visas.
More
The consulate is focused primarily on visa and documentary services for those planning a trip to Saudi Arabia: guest visas by invitation from relatives, business visas with an official invitation, referrals for work visas, as well as the certification and legalization of documents. Note that for many tourist trips today an electronic visa (Saudi eVisa) is available online without a visit to the consulate, and holders of valid visas from certain countries and residents may be able to obtain a visa on arrival, so the consulate is not needed in every case.
Reception is usually held on weekdays and by prior appointment, so before your visit it is worth contacting the institution and arranging a time, as well as preparing a full set: an international passport with sufficient validity, photographs, and an invitation or supporting documents for the specific visa. The consulate is located in the Bur Dubai area (Al Hamriya, near Al Seef Road), in the historic part of the city by the creek. Since Saudi Arabia's visa policy and document submission channels change periodically, always check the up-to-date requirements and the appointment method in advance.
Working hours and services may change — check the official website or call the institution.
