Entry and health rules
These facts are scoped to this route. Requirements with unconfirmed scope remain in the destination reference and are not a personal checklist. Full entry reference
Yellow fever vaccination: In some cases
A certificate is required for qualifying arrivals from yellow-fever-risk countries; the health guide also covers long airport transits. The 2026 Umrah document specifies travellers older than 9 months and lifetime validity beginning 10 days after vaccination.
Travel insurance: Required
Tourist visa applicants must obtain medical insurance approved in Saudi Arabia.
Proof of funds: Required
The consular tourism application needs bank or salary evidence.
Accommodation: Required
Tourist visa applicants register their address in Saudi Arabia.
Accommodation: Required
The consular tourism route requires accommodation evidence.
Other vaccinations: In some cases
Umrah vaccination requirements depend on purpose, origin and health group: meningococcal vaccination, specified polio doses and COVID-19 immunity apply to the groups listed in the 2026 document. Yemen/Sudan arrivals covered by that document need the official 10-day cholera-observation certificate.
Children:
Retain the guardian or accepted adult-companion requirement for under-18s. A current tourism card instead refers unaccompanied minors to home-country rules. Sources differ; confirm with the embassy or your airline.
