Visa & Entry

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. At King Khalid International (RUH) in Riyadh, King Abdulaziz (JED) in Jeddah, or Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz (MED) in Medina, immigration scans your passport, takes fingerprints and a photo, and stamps you in. The process is efficient with dedicated eVisa lanes.

Direct flights from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) to Riyadh run about 7 hours on Saudia and Thai Airways. Bangkok to Jeddah runs about 8 hours. Saudi Arabia uses the Saudi riyal (SAR), pegged at 3.75 SAR per $1, trading at roughly 9.5 SAR per THB 1. Card payments work widely. No mandatory vaccinations for tourist entry (meningitis ACWY vaccination is required only for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims). The Riyadh Metro opened in 2024 with 6 lines covering the city at SAR 4 to SAR 6 per ride (THB 38 to THB 57). Uber and Careem operate in all major Saudi cities.
