Saudi Arabia’s tourist eVisa portal covers 66 countries (one-year multiple-entry, 90 days per visit; covers tourism, family visits and Umrah, but not Hajj). The 2026 revision leaves only three African countries on the list: Mauritius, Seychelles and South Africa. Nigerians and other African nationals must use consular or agent routes instead of the instant online portal. What it means for you: African expats and their visiting families face slower, costlier applications — use the correct channel (licensed agent for Umrah, consulate for tourist) and beware of ‘eVisa agents’ selling a portal route that does not exist for your passport.
