Most Saudi visa refusals are preventable. Here's what to get right.
1. Document quality
Unclear passport scans are a frequent issue. Use sharp, complete images.
2. Photo problems
Non-compliant photos cause delays — keep it recent, colour and plain-background.
3. Mismatched details
Names and dates must align across all documents.
4. Passport validity
Ensure at least six months' validity from arrival.
5. Missing insurance
If insurance is required, make sure it's included.
