JazakaAllah for the info. Is it possible to make applications for multiple travellers using one account on the Visa Platform website? I can apply for each individual severalty but I don't need to create multi accounts on the platform. Let me know your experience, thanks.
Yes, I have used my account for my mum if I remember from memory.
@@Muslimtravelgirlsalaam sis, when applying for a child, you go from the parents account, do you select “evisa waiver +” or “add new application”?

any international provider. Make sure they cover Saudi and that it is acceptable for you in terms of coverage and any pre-existing conditions
Can I get an halal Umrah travel & health insurance provider details please.
@@muhammadchowdhury901I don’t know about halal health insurance, that’s an oxymoron
salaam whats todays price to visit for umrah
My wife is a British and she doesn’t need a visa to enter Saudi. Can I join her for Umrah as I am a Tunisian citizen and have BRP until 2025.
Your wife does need a visa. Either on arrival or online.
i am a signle female coming from the US. is this the same visa for Umrah? is the E-visa cost less than on arrival visa? how many months is this travel/umrah visa? can i fly on any airline? or i must travel on Saudi Airlines?
Waiver is only for UK - you need tourist visa which is 140 usd
Salam sister, its asking for a sponsor details now,,, do you know anything about it, hot do we fill this part,,, may be its a new thing,, I am really confused,,,
Salaam.
Can you clarify if you can perform Umrah on the visa waiver programme.
I.e can you or should you declare it
yes you can
Sis which vaccination we require if we apply waiver visa ??

@@vaqasedmonton1314 no
Salam sis, I’m trying to fill my child but it keeps rejecting it and says pls add dependant application number. Do I need to pay for my foem first before I do kids. Thanks
Salam. I am currently facing this difficulty. Can I ask if you resolved this and how please?

Salam alaycum, they say that with this visa u can bring zam zam

Jazaac Allahu khayran sister. One question please, I thought that the fee for the E.V.W is for the health insurance? So a separate medical insurance is needed?
Same thing, but again, get extra insurance it's basic
OK. Jazac Allahu khayr sister.
Yes separate insurance is needed
Hi
What should be the format of estimated arrival date
As we got visas and all other dates are in normal format but arrival one is in month/day/year
We are bit stressed about
Can anyone please confirm
Thank you
nothing to be stressed about, their site is not the most polished, very likely just an error from their side
Can I apply for the waiver visa I have a UK BRP, I’m not British.
No. You can get the tourist visa. Waivers are for passport holders
Is the visa mandatory? I have a flight in January to Bangkok from Zurich and stay for 13 hours in Saudi Arabia. So im just at the airport (Transit).
Visa allows entry
As a transit passenger you do not enter Saudi Arabia you are only in the airport so you don't need a visa
Salam need help sister I applied for the visa waiver for all family members and all were issued straight away. However afterwards I realised I had not put in my daughters middle name as on her passport just first and last and my mother I used her second and last and forgot her first name. Visas were issued though. Will they make us get new visas at immigration for this? Thank you
Not sure to be honest. If you have the option for visa on arrival but wait until then. It might not be an issue - but if you want safety then do the visas again and pay for peace of mind. I have actually done this with a US ESTA - I just preferred to pay and be relaxed.
Salaam. Any idea if UK residents who have ILR but no british passport yet can apply for ewaiever?
Oh, not sure. You definitely can for visa.
Try and call the embassy and do let me know. But tourist visa you can
Salam my sis
I applying evw visa for my daughter. While I was filling the form they ask about occupation.
She is only 13. I put student they don’t accept that. What shall I put there
I have got my and my wife evw visa.
Yasar from uk
Jazakallah
Could you please tell me what occupation did you put for 13 year old then to get her application through? Jzk
Sister i wanted to check if you have some more detailed information on EVW visa for british passport holders.
Since its single entry for upto 6 months stay in saudi arabia, how soon can you apply for another EVW? Becauae the EVW does not have expiry date on it unlike the Multiple Entry visa that has a 12 months validity date
as soon as you leave really. i would assume so. this is a permission there is no specified time to enter or leave other than single entry 6 months. so assuming you went in January you can go back with a new one in April. though in that case I would go for the tourist visa.
@@Muslimtravelgirl
Thank you for the quick response. We was planning on staying in Saudi Arabia for 5 months. Then exit and re enter using the waiver to stay another few months. Thats why the multiple entry will not work for us as its total 90 days stay and expires after 12 months.
@@Muslimtravelgirl
Also im trying to apply for the waiver and having error message coming up. I did my fathers EVW last week and it went through within minutes and i received the visa on email. Today i been trying my own EVW for past 2 hours. It keeps coming up with error message saying Please Fill all mandatory fields. I have checked over and over again. All mandatory fields are complete. Have also tried another browser but still having same issue. Anyone else come across this issue please advise
Salaam. Did your issue get sorted ?
Hi elena , trying to use the waiver visa but it doesn’t let me past the travel history . Doesn’t save it . I have tried numerous times . Any help appreciated .
@@fari5337 change the browser and it should work or clear cookies
@@MuslimtravelgirlI have tried using different devices and browsers but hasn’t worked .
Same with me , where you able to fill it ? @fari5337 it’s not saving at travel history 😢
@@adebisiokunola303 don't add history and it will work
@@adebisiokunola303it didn’t work for me . With or without history . But may be website problems .
Is health insurance absolutely mandatory for entry in Saudi?
no it is not but do you want to risk getting sick while there? I look for good coverage in health and things like lost bags etc
Can i apply for family of 5. Or do i need to apply seperately for all even minors under 15?
You will need to apply for each member of your family including children if you apply for the visa waiver
Salam sister. If I don’t go on the date I put on the waiver and go a month later as plans have changed, can I still use this or this is void? Regards Jazakallah Khair
you can it is one entry
Jazakallah Khair, May Allah swt bless you
The application form asks for occupation. When applying for children who are students or elderly who are retired. I cannot see any options to select student or retired. How do you get around that?
Just put any profession. Ot is silly they missed that part. But people haven't had issue
Stupid to require occupation for a toddler. I selected Home manager as an occupation. I got the E-visa waiver for my son.
@@ammadjamil1 he is definitely a home manager lol . i know, not sure why they don't change it but it is obviously not with kids in mind
@@Muslimtravelgirlhow do you apply for a child through parents account. Is it evisa waiver option or “add new application”?
@@Sameyah-w6o visa. Under your account and any occupation
They have asked for the countries travelled to in the last 5yrs with dates... I have an extensive list - is there a way around this?
just put the most prominent not all. i would have to stay there for ages
@@Muslimtravelgirl exactly.. feels like an unnecessary question for the EVW!
You can only put the last 4 countries even if you have more
Back from umrah, alhamdulillah! With the EVW and travel history - I don't think they manually verify anything to be honest. I submitted/paid for the EVW and within 10 seconds I had the visa in my mailbox! I would answer the statutory questions accurately but things like travel history I would put down the most promninent countries over the last 2-3 years (at least once if you've travelled multiple times). Thanks @muslimtravelgirl
awesome glad to hear it went well@@rdeen86
Sister can u recommend insurance provider jazakallah
Depends on your country but Alianz do insurance, in the UK many others like travelsupermarket, Axa ( which is what i have) do a google research for your country.
@Muslimtravelgirl jazakallah I'm in uk
Sis, is it essential to buy medical insurance when getting entry to saudia visa waeiver . As i only have visa waiver £135 paid to agent , for this visa. But no insurance is included.
Now I am panicking as first I applied tourist visa multiple entry. But there was name mistake and visa wasn’t downloading. I requested for cancellation to embassy.
Then just to avoid mistake I approached agent .
I have another video on this please watch it.
AoA Sister, In application form it is asking about the KSA home address and telephone no. can we use our hotel Info?
Yes, sister, use the hotel address, for example just put Hilton Hotel makkah and your normal telephone number.
Yes! they don't really check this - as they mentioned you can use the hotel
