All visitors to the Saudi Maritime Congress 2020 require a visa to enter the Kingdom. It is advised you apply for your eVisa as soon as you can to allow for possible delays and rejections.

The Saudi Arabia tourist visa application form takes a few minutes to complete and may take up to 72 hours to be accepted. To avoid delays and possible rejections, candidates should make sure that all the sections are answered fully and accurately.

• Candidates are required to provide personal information during the eVisa application process.
• This includes details such as: full name, address, date of birth, passport details and travel plans.
• Applicants must also answer a few security-related questions. 

The information provided on the application form will then be screened using several databases. It is essential that the passport details stated on the application exactly match the passport used to travel, otherwise the Saudi eVisa will not be valid.

When completing your eVisa, in the reason for travel box, please advise that you will be visiting the Saudi Maritime Congress.

Due to the conservative nature of Saudi society, men and women are reserved in their interaction in public.

It is common for a Saudi to greet each person individually with a handshake while standing.

Always use the right hand when engaging in a handshake, as the left hand is considered impolite.

Please note that it is uncommon for men to shake hands with women unless women offer their hand first.
