If you are Sudanese and legally residing in a GCC country (UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman) with a valid residence permit, you may be able to apply for Saudi Arabia's tourist eVisa through the official Visit Saudi platform — even though Sudan is not on the standard 66-country eVisa eligibility list.
Basic Requirements
Valid GCC residence permit (Iqama) with at least 3 months remaining
Passport valid for at least 6 months
Travel health insurance (usually purchased through the same application portal)
Important Notice on Sudan-Specific Eligibility
Since February 2025, Saudi Arabia has imposed restrictions on visit and tourist visas for a number of nationalities, including Sudan, generally limiting entry to single-entry visas instead of multiple-entry, with periods of full suspension followed by reinstatement under tighter conditions, often tied to the Hajj season. We could not find an official source that definitively confirms whether these restrictions extend to the GCC-residency pathway specifically, or apply only to direct applications by Sudanese nationality — we recommend verifying directly with us or the official portal before booking any travel.
