Saudi Visa for Japanese Citizens

• Tourist e-Visa: Ideal for leisure trips, sightseeing, and cultural immersion. Valid for 12 months from issuance, allows multiple entries with a total stay of 90 days per visit, and covers most tourist destinations except Makkah and Madinah.
• Business e-Visa: Designed for business meetings, conferences, and short professional engagements. Valid for 12 months, permits multiple entries with a total stay of 90 days per visit, and requires sponsorship from a registered Saudi company.
• Transit e-Visa: Perfect for layovers or stopovers at Saudi Arabian airports. Valid for 120 hours, allows a single entry and exit through designated airports, and is suitable for catching connecting flights or briefly exploring the city during your layover.

The official VisitSaudiArabiaVisa website is your gateway to e-Visa applications. Choose your desired e-Visa type, create an account (or log in if existing), fill out the application form, upload required documents (passport photo, scanned passport bio page), pay the visa fee, submit your application, and wait for a decision.

Generally, you'll need a valid Japanese passport with at least six months remaining validity, a digital photo, and a scanned copy of your passport bio page. Additional documents like company invitation letters or proof of sufficient funds might be required depending on your chosen e-Visa type.

Processing times vary based on the chosen service and workload. Standard processing typically takes 3-5 business days, while express processing can be completed within 24 hours.

Fees depend on the e-Visa type and processing time chosen.

• Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites.
• Be mindful of local customs and traditions.
• Avoid public displays of affection.
• Carry a photocopy of your passport and visa.
• Register with the Japanese embassy upon arrival.
• Familiarize yourself with local emergency numbers.

No, you cannot visit Makkah and Madinah with a regular tourist e-Visa issued for visiting other parts of Saudi Arabia. These two cities hold immense religious significance for Muslims and require specific visas for pilgrimage or religious purposes:

Umrah Visa: This visa is issued for performing the Umrah pilgrimage, which can be undertaken throughout the year except during the Hajj season.

Hajj Visa: This visa is strictly for Muslims intending to perform the Hajj pilgrimage, which occurs during a specific lunar month each year.
