Saudi Arabia Visa for Travel Agencies
For travel agencies only. This service is for registered travel agencies and agents who sell Saudi Arabia visas to their own customers. If you are a traveller, please contact a travel agency.
Short answer: Travel agencies can order Saudi Arabia visas for their customers in the QuickOTA B2B Panel at B2B rates. You choose the visa, add the travellers, pay from your prepaid wallet, upload the documents and follow every order in the panel. To get access and see your rates, send a partnership request with "Visa" ticked: our team contacts you and opens your account once your agency is approved.
This page is for travel agencies in the Gulf, Iraq, the Levant, Egypt, Sudan, North Africa and the rest of Africa that sell Riyadh, Jeddah, AlUla, Umrah and other Saudi Arabia trips. It explains how Saudi Arabia visas work in general, what to check for your customers, and how ordering works in QuickOTA. It is not visa advice: the official rules are published by the Saudi authorities and can change.
Key takeaways
- Saudi Arabia visas are ordered online in the QuickOTA B2B Panel, the same panel you use for flights.
- B2B rates for approved agencies. Rates are shown in the panel, not on this website.
- For travel agencies only: you need a registered company or a valid travel agency licence.
- Saudi Arabia issues tourist e-visas through its official eVisa portal; the official KSA Visa platform says the tourist visa allows Umrah but not Hajj.
- Send a partnership request with your phone or WhatsApp number, and our team contacts you.
How do Saudi Arabia visas work?
Saudi Arabia's visa rules depend on the traveller's nationality, residence and the purpose of the trip. Saudi Arabia issues tourist e-visas through its official eVisa portal (visa.visitsaudi.com) and the KSA Visa platform for eligible nationalities, and for residents of other GCC countries who meet the conditions listed there. Travellers who are not eligible apply through a Saudi embassy or consulate.
What this means for your agency:
- Check eligibility first. Eligibility depends on the passport, and for GCC residents on conditions such as the residence permit and occupation listed on the official portal.
- Umrah, not Hajj. The official KSA Visa platform says Umrah is permitted under the tourist visa, but Hajj is not. Hajj travel goes only through the official Hajj system and your national Hajj authority.
- Plan around peaks. Ramadan, school holidays and Riyadh's event seasons fill flights and hotels; order visas and hold flights early.
The rules, fees and conditions are set by the Saudi authorities and can change. Always follow the requirements shown for the visa in your QuickOTA panel, and check the official information before you take your customer's payment.

QuickOTA is not an embassy or a government agency, and it does not decide visa applications. The decision is made by the Saudi Arabia authorities.
What should agencies check for their customers?
Agencies should check the passport, residence, purpose of travel and dates for every traveller before they take payment. Whether a customer needs a visa, and which one, depends on the passport and the trip, so check it against the visa's requirements in the panel and the official information. Do not tell customers they do or do not need a visa.
Common customer questions, and how to handle them:
- "Saudi visa for Egyptians, Algerians or Sudanese?" Check the requirements shown for the Saudi visa in your panel for that passport, and the official eVisa portal.
- "Can my customer do Umrah on the tourist visa?" The official KSA Visa platform says Umrah is permitted under the tourist visa, but Hajj is not.
- "I live in the UAE or Kuwait. Can I apply?" The official portal lists conditions for GCC residents, including the residence permit and occupation.
- "How long does it take?" Follow the order in your panel and keep the customer updated. Do not promise a time the authorities have not confirmed.
Saudi Arabia is sold for Umrah, family visits, business, and tourism to Riyadh, Jeddah and AlUla. In QuickOTA you search, hold and ticket the flights and order the visa in one panel. Umrah and Hajj organisers can also send group requests; see our guides to selling Umrah flights and Ramadan Umrah planning.
