Travelling to the UK from Saudi Arabia

Entry requirements

When you travel to England from the KSA, you:

  • do not need to complete a UK passenger locator form before you travel
  • do not need to take any COVID-19 tests before you travel or after you arrive
  • do not need to quarantine when you arrive

This applies whether you are vaccinated or not because the Saudi authorities have lifted the immunization requirement for citizens traveling outside the Kingdom.

Visa requirement

If you are travelling from Saudi Arabia to the UK for tourism purposes, you must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), starting from 1 February, 2024.

The ETA visa, which replaces the “EVW visa”, will take effect on 22 February, with applications open from 1st February. The new visa offers a validity period of up to two years, permits multiple entries, and comes with a nominal fee of GBP 10.

All travellers from Saudi Arabia now require the UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for entry. The ETA is not a visa, and Saudi travellers will maintain their EVW eligibility but will need an ETA to cross the UK border.
