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 either apply for the following:
Saudi Arabia is eligible to visit the UK without the need for a visa under the UK Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW), provided they are visiting for purposes of tourism, business, study, or medical treatment.
An Electronic Visa Waiver lets eligible visitors visit the UK for up to six (6) months, and it cannot be used to work, get married or enter into a civil partnership in the UK. Please note that the Electronic Visa Waiver is for a single entry, so visitors will need a new one every time they visit the UK. Additionally, visitors will have to make a separate online EVW application for each person travelling, including children.
In addition to the EVW, all travellers from Saudi Arabia will soon require the UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for entry. However, as of now, only residents of Jordan and the GCC countries are eligible. The ETA is not a visa, and Saudi travellers will maintain their EVW eligibility but will need an ETA to cross the UK border.
