The objective of this guidebook is to help you plan your
participation at the Global Cybersecurity Forum (GCF), taking place
at the Ritz-Carlton in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from 4-5 February 2020.
Foreign nationals visiting Saudi Arabia must obtain an entry visa prior to traveling.
If you have a valid Saudi visa and have not shared it with the GCF Team, please send a scanned
copy to [email protected].
E-VISA
The e-Visa application has been designed to provide all visitors the possibility to experience an
online and time efficient process to obtain a visa without visiting a local Embassy/Consulate.
It will be necessary to have a valid passport (with at least six months remaining from the date
of entry), a credit or debit card to pay the visa fee, and an email address to receive the e-Visa
for Saudi Arabia.
You will need to enter your contact details, travel plans, and passport details, as well as answer
some security-related questions. You will need to meet some basic requirements and must
ensure that you answer every section of the application form as accurately as possible.
Once the application form has been submitted and processed, the Saudi e-Visa will be sent to
you by email. You will need to present the e-Visa, along with your passport, upon arrival in Saudi
Arabia.
PROCEDURE
