Applying for a Saudi eVisa for Children and Family Groups

For Saudi visa applications, children and infants generally need their own visa or travel authorization where required; they should not simply be added to a parent’s visa. Families can prepare applications together, while each traveller’s passport and personal details must be entered correctly.

Every Traveller Needs a Visa, Including Infants

Each traveller, including infants and young children, needs the appropriate Saudi visa or travel authorization based on their nationality and travel purpose. A child’s application is linked to their own passport, so parents should not assume that a parent’s visa automatically covers the child.

Documents for Minors

For a minor’s Saudi visa application, prepare:

• Valid passport meeting the applicable validity requirement
• Recent visa photograph meeting Saudi photo specifications
• Completed visa application with the child’s own details
• Parent or guardian information where requested
• Additional consent or supporting documents if required for the child’s travel circumstances

Check that the child’s name, date of birth, passport number, and nationality exactly match the passport before submitting.

Travelling With One Parent

If a child is travelling with only one parent, additional consent or supporting documentation may be requested depending on the circumstances and visa process. Carrying a signed consent letter from the other parent, along with relevant supporting documents, can help avoid problems during travel.

Visa requirements and border-entry checks can differ, so parents should verify the requirements before departure rather than relying only on the visa approval.

Applying for a Family in One Go

Families can make the process easier by submitting multiple applications together through our multi-applicant form. Instead of entering each traveller separately through different sessions, you can provide the details for parents and children together and review the information before submission.

Each family member still receives an individual application/visa where applicable. Make sure every passport detail is entered separately and accurately to prevent delays or application errors.

Women Travelling Alone

Women can travel to Saudi Arabia independently for eligible purposes, subject to the requirements of the visa they hold. For tourist travel, the key considerations are having a valid passport, the correct visa or authorization, and meeting the applicable entry conditions.

Women travelling alone should also check their specific visa conditions, accommodation arrangements, and any current entry requirements before departure.
