 
 Visa requirements for Saudi citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Saudi Arabia.
As of July 20 2025, Saudi citizens have visa-free or visa on arrival access to 91 countries and territories, ranking the Saudi passport 54th in the world, tied with Botswana passport according to the Henley Passport Index. [1]
Saudi citizens do not need a visa to enter other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and also have the right to work in those countries. Similarly, citizens of other GCC states do not need a visa to enter Saudi Arabia. GCC citizens can use a GCC national identity card (rather than a passport) to enter Saudi Arabia.
Visa requirements for Saudi citizens were lifted by New Zealand (July 1999), [2] Kyrgyzstan (July 2012), Honduras (September 2016), [3] Georgia (November 2016), [4] Belarus (February 2017), [5] Barbados (May 2019), [6] South Africa (August 2019), [7] Kazakhstan (September 2019), [8] Ukraine (August 2020), [9] Uzbekistan (August 2022), [10] Zambia (December 2022), [11] Singapore (June 2023), [12] [13] Iran (December 2023), [14] Turkey (January 2024), [15] the United Kingdom (February 2024), [16] Pakistan (September 2024), [17] China (June 2025), [18] Armenia (July 2025). [19]
Visas on arrival for Saudi citizens were introduced by Malawi in October 2015, followed by Azerbaijan in February 2016, [20] followed by Gabon in October 2017, [21] followed by Pakistan in March 2019. [22]
Electronic Visas for Saudi citizens were introduced by Myanmar that commenced on 1 September 2014, [23] followed by Djibouti on 18 February 2018, [24] followed by India on 17 June 2019, [25] followed by the United Kingdom in 1 June 2022, [26] followed by Armenia in 5 July 2022, [27] followed by Japan in 27 March 2023. [28]
Russia announced that it is working to establish visa-free travel agreement with Saudi Arabia. [29] In September 2024, it announced that Saudi citizens will gain visa-free entry to Russia by 2025. [30]
European Union is currently working on facilitating visa-free entry into Schengen Area for Saudi citizens. [31] [32]
