Before You Begin

Business visas are issued to: businessmen, investors, representatives of U.S. companies, managers, sales managers, sales representatives, etc. Business visas do not grant the applicant the right to work or to reside in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Visitors to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia must abide by the country's Islamic laws and regulations and respect its society's values and traditions. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's laws against drug trafficking are strictly enforced. Violators are subject to severe punishment, which may include the death penalty.

Step 1: Gather the items listed below

Valid Passport

Original, signed passport valid for 6 months beyond stay, with at least one blank visa page available for visa stamp(s). Amendment pages in the back of the passport are not suitable for visa stamps.

Visa Application

Two visa application forms per applicant properly completed and signed. Signature must be original on each application. Improperly completed forms may delay the processing of your visa.

1 Passport Photo

Photo Requirements: Photos must have been taken in the last 6 months, be 2 inches by 2 inches in size, and have white background. Please face forward in your photo.

Option 1: email a photo to Swift Passport Services orders@swiftpassport.com using the following guidelines. Swift Passport will size and print your passport photos for a nominal fee of $15.

• Photo file needs to be attached to the email as a .jpeg file.  Other file formats cannot be properly formatted
• Have someone else take the picture of you; please do not send pictures you take of yourself.

Option 2: Obtain 1 passport photo from a passport photo service (Walgreens, CVS, FedEx, etc.).

Official Business Invite

In addition, it must clearly state the applicant's name, nationality, position, length of visa, purpose of travel, and number of entries requested. No Chamber of Commerce certification is needed for invitations issued by a government company such as Saudi Aramco, SABIC, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Ma'aden, or the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority.

Enjaz Registration Form

Applicant must log on to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website to register his application. You will not be able to complete this until you have all of your application materials gathered. On the MFA website, click on "Apply for a visa to enter the Kingdom of Saudi embassy abroad by individuals". You must accept the terms and conditions. Complete the online registration, based on the information on your visa application form. Please note that the MFA will assess a fee for this registration. After registering the application, it is extremely important to write the request number on the visa application form that will be submitted to the embassy and to print a copy of the payment confirmation page. Please include this with your other visa paperwork. We recommend printing these guidelines to get started. If submitting the visa application in New York, the sponsor company name must be written in Arabic. You may wish to use a translation tool such as Google Translate. Swift Passport will complete this for you for an additional $50 upon request. You will receive confirmation and the final Enjaz approval notification by e-mail.
