Hi,
I am soon going to be moving to Riyadh. Last time I was living in saudi I had to send my passport to the embassy in london to get the visa stamped into my passport.
However, on the website the links to download the form to send alongside my passport seems to have been replaced by an E-VISA button.
Can anybody tell me if they have gotten rid of sending passports to the saudi embassy and replaced it with an e-visa?

Hello Rosaria,

In fact the whole internal applications to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as Ministry of Externs have been replaced by online applications, so probably the externals as well. Did you try to call the embassy?
For business invitations, we are still sending invitations to our invitees and they are submitting their passports as usual.

Hi Rosarialily,
I Think you still have to send the passport to the embassy.
