Apply for your e-Visa yourself, and pay only the official fee

Every season, pilgrims pay a stranger to type their details into a form the Saudi government provides for free. This page shows you the real portal, how to recognise it, and how to spot the people pretending to be it.

Why we put this page in front of you

Go Labbayk earns nothing from visas. We do not process them, we are not a visa agent, and we take no commission from any link on this page. We built it because the first money a pilgrim loses is usually lost right here — months before they ever see the Haram — and a platform that watches that happen quietly is not caring for anyone. Read this once, apply directly, and keep that money for your journey.

Apply for your visa on the official Saudi portal

Saudi Arabia issues visas through its own government website. The eVisa portal at visa.visitsaudi.com handles tourist visas, which may be used to perform Umrah.

You do not need to pay anyone to fill in these forms. Search results are full of intermediaries charging several times the government fee for the same application — some are licensed agents, many are not, and from a search result they look identical. Apply directly and you pay the official fee only.

Go Labbayk does not process visas and takes nothing from these links. Visa issuance is a government function.

One official portal, one address to remember

There is a single government website you need in order to apply. Learn its address by heart — that one habit defeats most visa scams on its own.

visa.visitsaudi.com
Run by: The Saudi Ministry of Tourism
Use it for: The tourist e-Visa, which may be used to perform Umrah. This is the one most pilgrims need.
If the portal says your passport is not eligible
The e-Visa is open to a set list of nationalities, and the portal tells you at the very first step whether yours is on it. If it is not, the correct route is a Saudi embassy or consulate — not someone who promises to get around it. Nobody can get around it. A person who says they can is selling something that does not exist.

Have these ready before you open the portal

A passport valid for at least six months from the day you intend to travel.
A clear passport-style photograph, and a scan or photo of your passport page.
Your own email address and mobile number — not an agent's. Every update goes there, and whoever holds the account holds your visa.
A payment card in your own name. The portal shows the fee before you confirm.

How to apply, in four steps

Step 1
Type the address yourself

Type visa.visitsaudi.com into the address bar by hand. Do not arrive through an advertisement, a WhatsApp forward, or a search result you did not read carefully. That is how people end up on a copy of the site.

Step 2
Register in your own name

Create the account with your own email and phone number. If someone else holds it, you will need them for every correction, every reprint and every question afterwards.

Step 3
Complete the form and pay the fee shown

The portal displays the fee, including the insurance that comes with the visa, before you confirm. Whatever it shows is the price. There is no separate handling charge payable to anyone else.

Step 4
Wait for the decision by email

The result arrives at the address you registered. Print it or keep it on your phone. Nobody can speed a government decision up, and nobody can promise you the outcome in advance.

Six signs you are being scammed

Any one of these is reason enough to stop and check. Together, they are the standard pattern.

They contacted you first — on WhatsApp, Facebook or TikTok — offering to arrange a visa.
They ask you to transfer money to a personal bank account or an e-wallet.
They promise guaranteed approval or a fast-track. No one can promise a government decision.
They ask you to courier your physical passport to them.
The website address is not visa.visitsaudi.com. Read the address bar, not the logo.
They will not give you a company name, a licence number, or a receipt.
A licensed travel agency is not a scam
Many pilgrims buy a full package from a licensed agency — flights, hotel, transport and the visa handled together — and that is a real service worth paying for. The problem is narrower: the operator who does nothing but type your details into a free government form and charges you many times the fee for it. Ask what you are paying for, line by line. A genuine agency will tell you without hesitating.
Read the address bar, every single time
The official Saudi eVisa service sits at visa.visitsaudi.com and nowhere else. A near-miss such as visitsaudi-visa.com or saudi-evisa.net is not the government, however official the page looks. Check before you type anything, and check again before you pay.

What Go Labbayk will never do

We will never ask you for your passport, your visa documents, or your payment details.
We will never charge you for a visa, or take a share of what you pay the government.
We will never message you first offering to arrange one. If someone does that in our name, it is not us — send it to us and we will say so publicly.
Go Labbayk cares for you

You may be saving for a journey you make once in your life. We would far rather you arrive with that money still in your pocket than watch it go to someone who filled in a free form on your behalf. If a visa website or an offer looks wrong to you, send it to us before you pay. We will look at it with you, and it costs you nothing.
