Non-Immigrant Visas

Where to Apply

All Saudi citizens require a visa to travel to the United States. The U.S. Consulate General Dhahran and the U.S. Embassy Riyadh accept applications from the general public.  The U.S. Consulate General Jeddah re-established very limited visa processing in January 2009, but virtually all applicants from Jeddah must still apply in Riyadh. 

Citizens of some countries are eligible to use the Visa Waiver Program.

How to Apply for a Visa

The basic steps of the application process for a visa to the United States are as follows:

1.    Get a visa photo

2.    Complete the online application

3.    Schedule an appointment with Visapoint

4.    Pay application fees

5.    Go for the interview
