The processing time differs for each application, but normally it won't take more than several days. Still, try to fill out the form in the most accurate way: mistakes and incomplete boxes may cause delays in the processing.

The validity period of the Saudi tourist visa is 1 year (12 months), it starts from the date of issuance.

The Saudi Arabia eVisa is a multiple-entry permit for a stay of up to 90 days. You can have one 90-day visit or split those 90 days into several visits.

When all 90 days are used, the Saudi visa gets ineffective. If the one-year validity period still lasts, it is impossible to renew the eVisa to Saudi Arabia.

The eVisa is also electronically connected to your passport, so if it expires, the online visa will become invalid.
