Who Needs a Business Visa?
All Indian nationals traveling to Saudi Arabia for official, investment, or commercial purposes must apply for a Saudi Arabia Business Visa before traveling.
This visa is required if the purpose includes:
Attending meetings, trade fairs, or business conferences
Signing agreements or exploring investment opportunities
Conducting site visits, inspections, or corporate training
Representing an Indian company or government entity
A Business Visa does not allow employment, residence, or paid activities in Saudi Arabia. Those intending to work in the Kingdom must apply for a Work Visa or Employment Visa instead.
BTW Visa Tip: Saudi Arabia issues both eVisas and sticker visas, depending on the applicant’s profile and host company type. BTW Visa Services helps determine the right category and ensures your invitation is pre-verified by the Saudi Chamber of Commerce, which is mandatory for processing.

Step-by-Step Application Process
Step 1: Obtain an Official Invitation
Your Saudi host company must request a Business Visa invitation through the Saudi Chamber of Commerce. Once approved, a visa authorization number will be generated — mandatory for Indian applicants.
Step 2: Register and Fill Out the Visa Form Online
Visit the Enjazit portal and fill out the online application. Enter all passport, sponsor, and travel details exactly as per the invitation letter.
Step 3: Attach Documents & Pay Enjazit Fee
Upload scanned copies of your passport, photo, invitation, and company letter. Pay the Enjazit service fee online and print the payment confirmation.
Step 4: Submit Application via VFS or Embassy
Visit the nearest VFS Saudi Visa Centre or the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia (New Delhi) / Consulate in Mumbai to submit your passport and printed documents.
Step 5: Receive Your e-Visa Approval
Once approved, your Albania Business e-Visa will be sent to your registered email address in PDF format.
Print a copy and carry it with you when traveling — this acts as your valid entry authorization.
Step 6: Verify Visa Details Before Travel
Before flying, check that your visa mentions the correct validity, entry type, and purpose (“Business”). Incorrect entries may lead to issues at immigration.
