Can Applicants Under 18 Years Old Apply for An eVisa?

Children need separate visas to enter Saudi Arabia legally. However, Saudi government regulations state that applicants must be 18 or older to use the eVisa system directly. This means minors cannot submit their own applications; instead, a parent or legal guardian must apply for the Saudi visa for children on the minor's behalf.

How to get Saudi Arabia e-visa also applies to minors?

As mentioned above, you must be at least 18 years old to use the Service and to apply for a Saudi eVisa. If you use the Service on behalf of a Minor, you represent and warrant that you are entitled to make the application for the eVisa on their behalf, and you agree to the Terms on behalf of that person. If you do not have such authority, you must not use the Service.

It is important to note that children under the age of 18 cannot apply for a visa on their own, and a parent or legal guardian will have to apply for a visa for the child. Otherwise, the government will not accept it. In addition, minors need a Saudi e-visa for entry regardless of age. But don’t worry! The visa application process for a Saudi Arabia eVisa has been simplified thanks to the electronic visa system. Applicants should visit the Saudi Immigration Services website to learn more about this visa, as well as the requirements.

Travelers should bear in mind that if children are included in their parents' passports, please make sure that they are listed on the travel visa in order to make the process of applying for a visa for minors easier.
