Every way into the Kingdom: the international airports, the land borders and the seaports - and which visa works at each.
An issued eVisa works at every international airport. Visa on arrival is an airport service for eligible travellers - the four big gateways below handle the great majority of arrivals.
The 25 km bridge from Al Khobar to Bahrain, and the busiest land crossing in the Kingdom. eVisa holders cross here routinely.
The main Abu Dhabi-to-Riyadh road crossing, used by the many UAE residents who drive in on an eVisa or residency-based visa.
Saudi Arabia's only land link with Qatar, on the road between Doha and Al Khobar.
Al Hadithah in the north, Halat Ammar near Tabuk, and Ad Durrah at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba.
Two crossings serving the Eastern Province and the Hafar Al-Batin region.
The Empty Quarter road, opened in 2021 - one of the great desert drives, across the Rub' al Khali from Oman to the Eastern Province.
The Iraq crossing at Arar operates mainly for pilgrims and official traffic, and the Yemen border crossings are closed to tourists. Check your exact crossing before a long drive - facilities and hours vary.
Passenger sea arrivals are the exception rather than the rule. Jeddah Islamic Port and Yanbu serve Red Sea cruise itineraries, and King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam is the Gulf's main gateway - cruise passengers follow the visa arrangements of their itinerary, and everyone else should hold a visa issued before sailing.
Every international airport, plus the main land crossings including the Causeway and Al Batha. The simplest way in, for eligible nationalities.
Airports only, for eligible travellers. Never drive to a land border expecting one - if you are crossing by road, your visa must already be issued.
Family, personal and business visit visas are valid at any official port of entry - carry the issued visa and your host's details with you.
