Saudi passport holders need a visa to enter the United States. The most common type is the B1/B2 visitor visa for business and tourism. Apply online at ceac.state.gov/genniv, pay the $185 (about SAR 694) fee, and schedule an interview at the US Embassy in Riyadh or the Consulate in Jeddah or Dhahran. Wait times for interview appointments fluctuate from 2 weeks to several months depending on the season. Bring your DS-160 confirmation, passport, photo, and supporting documents (bank statements, employment letter, travel itinerary).
The B1/B2 visa is typically issued for 10 years with multiple entry. Each visit allows a stay of up to 6 months, determined by the CBP officer at the port of entry. At the US airport, CBP takes fingerprints and a photo and asks about your trip purpose and duration. Have your return ticket, hotel, and itinerary ready. Saudi students in the US use the F-1 visa, which requires a separate application and I-20 form from the university.
Direct flights from Riyadh to New York JFK run about 13 hours on Saudia. Jeddah to Washington Dulles (IAD) runs about 13 hours 30 minutes on Saudia. Connections through London, Frankfurt, or Doha add 3 to 5 hours but offer more US city options. The US uses the US dollar, trading at 3.75 SAR per $1. No mandatory vaccinations. Global Entry ($100, valid 5 years) provides expedited CBP processing via kiosks at major US airports, eliminating the standard immigration queue. Apply through the CBP One app or ttp.cbp.dhs.gov.
