Saudi Arabia Visa Eligibility for Citizens of the Republic of Croatia

As of 2026, the travel corridor between the Adriatic coast and the Arabian Peninsula has reached a high level of digital integration. For citizens of the Republic of Croatia, the process of entering Saudi Arabia is exceptionally streamlined. As a member of the European Union, Croatia is part of the Kingdom's "Group A" nationalities, which means travelers can bypass traditional embassy appointments in Zagreb and secure their entry authorization through a simplified online portal. Whether you are planning a leisure trip to the Red Sea, a business meeting in Riyadh, or a spiritual pilgrimage, the digital era has made your journey more accessible than ever.

• Eligibility Status: Full Electronic Visa (e-visa) and Visa on Arrival eligibility.

• Approved Travel Purposes: Leisure tourism, family visits, business events, and performing Umrah.

• Border Access: The digital authorization is valid at all international airports (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Madinah), as well as land borders and seaports.

Multiple-Entry Flexibility and Stay Limits

The 2026 entry framework for Croatian nationals is designed to support both short-term visits and repetitive travel:

• One-Year Validity: The issued e-visa remains valid for 12 months from the date of approval.

• Multiple-Entry Privilege: Travelers can enter and exit the Kingdom as many times as they wish during the visa's validity period.

• 90-Day Maximum Stay: Each individual visit allows for a stay of up to 90 days. This is ideal for extensive exploration of the Kingdom's diverse regions.

• Umrah Access: Croatian citizens can perform Umrah on a tourist e-visa throughout the year, with the exception of the Hajj season, which requires a specific religious permit.

Specialized Entry: Careers and Long-Term Residency

It is vital for citizens of the Republic of Croatia to note that the tourist e-visa does not grant the right to engage in paid labor. If your goal is professional relocation or a long-term career in the Kingdom, a specific Consular Work Visa must be obtained through the Saudi Embassy. This process involves a local sponsor and the verification of academic and medical credentials. We recommend a preliminary check of your documents to ensure they meet the latest professional standards before initiating the embassy process.

Essential Requirements for Croatian Applicants

To finalize your digital authorization for 2026, please ensure the following items are ready:

1. Valid Passport: A Croatian passport with at least six months of remaining validity.

2. Digital Profile: A clear, recent biometric photograph with a plain white background.

3. Communication: A valid email address to receive your official PDF authorization.
