Use the MOI visa enquiry service to check by application number or passport number and nationality. For an eVisa applied through the tourist portal, the status and the visa itself also appear in your account on visa.visitsaudi.com.
Where to check, by visa type
For a tourist eVisa, log in to the visa portal account you applied with; approval and the visa document appear there. For visit and Umrah visas processed via an agent or sponsor, the MOI visa enquiry lets you verify the status independently.
Both routes confirm whether the visa is issued, under process, or rejected.
What you need to check
- Your visa application or reference number
- Your passport number
- Your nationality
- The account you applied with, for an eVisa
