Where Can Indians Buy a Saudi Package Visa? Approved Agencies (2026)

Saudi Arabia's official visa tool places India in its 'Visa by Package' group. For an Indian tourist with no US, UK or Schengen visa and no GCC residence, the Package Visa is one of three routes, alongside an Embassy/Consulate/Tasheer visa and a transit/stopover visa. The details below are as published on the official sources, checked on 15 October 2026. For the other Saudi visa routes, see our Saudi Arabia visa guide for Indians.

Which agencies are allowed to sell the Package Visa?

The Ministry of Tourism's tourist-visa page names four accredited agencies:

1. Reserval
2. Almosafer
3. Webook.com
4. Almatar

The Ministry launched the Package Visa pilot on 6 July 2026 and lists India among the eligible countries. You buy a travel package from one of these agencies, complete the online visa application inside the booking, and the visa and travel insurance are issued when the booking is completed. Both are sent to you by email.

No India-based agency appears on the Ministry's list. If a local travel agent offers you a "Saudi package visa", ask which of the four accredited agencies the booking is made through, and make sure the visa arrives by email from that booking.

What does a valid package have to contain?

The Package Visa is tied to the package. Visit Saudi sets these conditions:

• A confirmed hotel booking rated 4 stars or above and licensed by the Ministry of Tourism.
• A confirmed round-trip flight booking.
• A completed online visa application, including medical insurance.
• A trip length of 2 to 88 days.
• A maximum of 9 tourists over 18 per package, plus up to 5 children.
• Travel starting at least 48 hours after purchase.
• No Makkah or Madinah on the itinerary.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date you enter Saudi Arabia. Travellers under 18 can enter only with a parent, grandparent or adult sibling.

How much does a Package Visa trip cost?

Visit Saudi shows these prices in riyals; no official INR equivalent is published, so check the rupee amount on the agency's checkout page. Visit Saudi's eVisa FAQ says tourist visa fees are non-refundable in any case.

Package Visa, eVisa or embassy visa: which route fits you?

The Package Visa is not the only way in. Your existing visas and travel style decide which route is cheapest and simplest.

If you want to stay with relatives rather than in a hotel, the package route does not fit, because it needs a licensed 4-star-plus hotel booking. The Embassy/Consulate/Tasheer visa or the family and friends visit visa on the KSA Visa platform is the alternative.

Does the Package Visa cover business trips or family visits?

No. It is a tourist eVisa sold with a holiday package. The KSA Visa platform run by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has separate visit visas for other purposes:

• Business visit visa: $80 plus the two $10.5 digital services fees and insurance. It needs an invitation letter from the inviting company, or details of your work if you have none, and is usually decided within 1-2 working days. It must not be linked to a permanent employment contract in Saudi Arabia.
• Family and Friends visit visa: $80 plus the same digital services fees and insurance, with the same validity rules: single entry valid 90 days, or multiple entry valid 1 year, with stays of up to 90 days.

Pick the visa that matches the real purpose of your trip. The Package Visa suits a hotel-based holiday; a work-related or family-hosted trip belongs on the KSA Visa platform.

Can you perform Umrah on a Package Visa?

No. The Package Visa excludes Makkah and Madinah. Umrah has its own visit visa, applied for through Nusuk (nusuk.sa) and authorised agents, and available all year except the Hajj season (15 Dhul Qa'dah to 15 Dhul Hijjah). Hajj needs the separate Hajj visa through Nusuk.

Checks before you pay an agency

• Confirm the seller is Reserval, Almosafer, Webook.com or Almatar, or is booking through one of them.
• Check the hotel is 4 stars or above and licensed by the Ministry of Tourism.
• Make sure your departure is at least 48 hours after the purchase.
• Count your group: no more than 9 adults and 5 children per package.
• Keep Makkah and Madinah off the plan.
• Check passport validity of six months beyond entry before you pay, since the fee is non-refundable.

Because the package itself includes a confirmed flight and hotel, you do not need a separate flight reservation for this route. For Saudi applications filed at a Tasheer centre or the Embassy, Yatra For Fun's India office in Gurugram prepares flight reservations, hotel bookings, travel itineraries and cover letters, with packages from INR 1,000 (flight reservation) to INR 3,000 (reservation, hotel booking, itinerary and cover letter).

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to get a Saudi Package Visa?

Visit Saudi lists the Package Visa as an instant eVisa. The visa and travel insurance are issued when the booking is completed and are sent to you by email. Your trip must start at least 48 hours after purchase.

Can a family with children use one Saudi package?

Yes, within the limits. One package can cover up to 9 tourists over 18 and up to 5 children. Children under 18 must travel with a parent, grandparent or adult sibling.

Is the Saudi Package Visa refundable if I cancel?

Visit Saudi's eVisa FAQ says tourist visa fees are non-refundable in any case. The KSA Visa platform has its own refund rules for other visa types, so read the agency's cancellation terms for the package itself before paying.

Do Indians with a US visa need the Package Visa?

Not necessarily. Indians holding a valid US, UK or Schengen tourist or business visa that has been used at least once, with a physical entry stamp, can apply for the eVisa on the KSA Visa portal (SAR 339.44) or get a visa on arrival (SAR 395).
