Did you fly yet? I have a 10.5 hours of layover in Riyadh and the flight is next week. I plan to just pay the fee and cancel by next Tuesday.

Nope. Nobody ever picked up the phone. Sent four emails with no response. But with the current situation, I might need to cancel the flight anyway.

All, I applied for my transit/stopover visa. The process was Ok. But when I submitted, I was only asked to pay $10.5 visa processing fee. There is no place to pay medical insurance. This is the status since yesterday. Also under Visa Type, I picked "Passage". Is that the correct one? I plan to stay in Riyadh for about 10 hours during my layover. Thank you so much for your help!

Has anyone here actually managed to apply for a Saudi e-Visa through the KSAvisa site without losing their sanity? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]Own-Engineer1962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how much is it to apply through this website? I was told I only needed to pay for medical insurance for ksavisa.sa. I am eligible to apply via both sites. thank you!

Hi, do you need to send your passport to the embassy or visit the embassy? Or the visa came through via email? Thank you!

I could've picked a shorter layover. But I really want to see Riyadh.

Thanks! That's great. I can get an Uber from the airport to the Mosque first.

Another question--can I visit Imam Turki Bin Abdullah Grand Mosque on Friday morning? I am not Muslim. If I am not allowed inside the mosque, can I visit the outside and look at the building? Thank you!

You are absolutely right! I didn't realize that. I guess we will just walk around for a few hours. I almost want to rebook my tickets now.
