Thai passport holders can apply for a Saudi eVisa through visa.visitsaudi.com. The eVisa costs about SAR 535 (about THB 5,100) including mandatory medical insurance, is valid for 1 year with multiple entries, and allows stays up to 90 days per visit. Processing takes 24 to 48 hours. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. The eVisa covers tourism, visiting family, attending events, and performing Umrah (but not Hajj or paid employment).
Required documents for the online application include a passport scan, a recent photo, and a credit or debit card for payment.
