Total Cost of the Holiday or Visit:
Do consult the travel agent regarding their refund policy. An unforeseen event may lead to
cancellation of your trip or holiday. If this happens, it always helps if you can get the
money back.
Travel Itinerary:
You may need additional coverage if you intend to get involved in something extreme. It is a
good idea to consider all the activities you will do once you are in Saudi Arabia and then
apply for travel insurance.
Traveling with Family: If you are traveling to Saudi Arabia with spouse and children, the travel insurance must cover them. Therefore, it always helps to be informed before starting your journey and buy the right travel insurance package.

Dear Sir/Madam, I hope you are well. I am currently residing in the United Kingdom and I am of Afghan nationality. I hold a UK-issued Refugee Travel Document issued by the Home Office. I would like to respectfully ask whether it is possible for me to apply for a visa to travel to Saudi Arabia for the purpose of Umrah using this travel document. Could you please advise Whether my UK Refugee Travel Document is accepted for entry into Saudi Arabia for Umrah. If yes, what type of visa I should apply for (e-visa, personal visit visa, or embassy application). What documents and procedures would be required. I would be grateful for your guidance before making any travel arrangements. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Hamza Elgarf
Dear Sir/Madam, Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh I was talking to an authorized visa center which is Visit Saudi.com, and they told me to ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for this enquiry. Basically, I am an Egyptian Citizen, but I live and work in the united Kingdom under a Partner Visa which is under the law family residency type in the United Kingdom Law and no restrictions for me at all here in the UK to rent,work, open a business and live. Am I eligible for Visa on Arrival OR Toursit Evisa in that case. My Residency is digital cause the United Kingdom removed all of the physical BRP or Residency Card. Please let me know as if its acceptable I will start my application Thank you for your Help. Jazzoum Allah Khayrin Best regards, Hamza Elgarf

Saeeda Begum
We applied for a visa for Saeeda Begum so that she can travel for Umrah. The visa has been rejected and we have not been given any reason. She has a Pakistani passport with a UK visa on which she has travelled twice in 2 years. She has been travelling to the UK regularly for the last 25 years. She was planning on Umrah with her son and Mahram Raja Imran Asghar, his wife and son. We have already booked the flights through wizz air and have also paid for the hotels in Makkah and Madina. We have booked the Mysk al Balad in Madina for 5 nights and Swissotel Al Maqam in Makkah. Saeeda Begum is travelling with British Citizens. We can provide full booking details for the flights and hotels. The application number is E795965776 and her passport number is MW3956032. Your website states that she can apply for a e visa and a visa on arrival. We have spent over £3500 on flights and accommodation that is non refundable. We would be very grateful if you could look at this again. Kind regards Saeeda Begum.
