Saudi passport holders need a Standard Visitor Visa to enter the UK. Apply online at gov.uk/standard-visitor and attend a biometrics appointment at the VFS Global center in Riyadh or Jeddah. The visa costs GBP 115 (about SAR 540) for a 6-month multiple-entry visa, with options for 2-year (GBP 400), 5-year (GBP 771), and 10-year (GBP 963) versions. Processing takes 3 to 4 weeks from the biometrics appointment.

Each visit can last up to 6 months (180 days). The UK is not part of the Schengen area, so a Schengen visa does not cover the UK and vice versa.
