USEFUL INFORMATION

Entry requirements for Saudi Arabia:

Visa

Since 27 September 2019, Saudi Arabia has been issuing tourist visas to nationals of 49 countries, including France. According to the Saudi authorities, it is possible to apply for this type of visa directly on arrival at special terminals in Riyadh and Jeddah airports. However, French citizens wishing to travel to Saudi Arabia are advised to apply for an electronic visa via Saudi Visa (https://visa.visitsaudi.com/) in advance. In all cases, visitors must be able to produce the necessary documents on arrival, particularly those relating to medical insurance.

The Saudi authorities will not issue visas to holders of passports bearing Israeli visas or stamps.

Customs regulations

On arrival in Saudi Arabia, luggage is generally subjected to a thorough inspection. Prohibitions on the import of certain goods must be observed to avoid confiscation and lengthy searches.

Men should wear trousers and avoid shorts or Bermuda shorts.

Islam is the only recognised religion in Saudi Arabia. All manifestations of affiliation to other religions (practices, proselytism, symbols, etc.) are prohibited.

Only people of Muslim faith are allowed to visit Mecca, and access is strictly controlled. In Medina, access to the Prophet's Mosque is forbidden to non-Muslims.

During the month of Ramadan, travellers should pay particular attention to respecting Saudi customs and traditions.
