How To Track Saudi Arabia Visa Status Using Passport Number

You can track a Saudi Arabia visa status online using your passport number, but you usually need one more detail too. Most Saudi visa tracking pages also ask for an application number, visa number, order number, or reference number before showing the result.

The safest way is to check through the official Saudi visa platforms: KSA Visa or the MOFA Visa Platform. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says visa inquiries are available through the Visa Services Platform, and the official KSA Visa guide says applicants can track status by selecting Track Your Application, entering the required details, and clicking Search.

Can You Check Saudi Visa Status With Passport Number Only?

Usually, no. Your passport number is important, but it normally needs to be used with another number from your visa application.

If you do not have your application number or reference number, check your email, SMS, visa agent message, payment receipt, or visa center receipt first.

Official Ways To Track A Saudi Arabia Visa Status

There are two main official routes most applicants use.

The official MOFA service page describes a service for querying visas issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and directs users to the KSA Visa platform for the inquiry path.

Method 1: Track Saudi Visa Status On KSA Visa

Use this method if you applied through the KSA Visa platform, received an application number, or were told to track your application through KSA Visa.

Step 1: Go To The Official KSA Visa Website

Open the official KSA Visa platform. On the website, look for Track Application. The KSA Visa page includes a Track Application option in the top navigation.

Step 2: Enter Your Application Or Visa Number

Type the application number, visa number, or reference number connected to your Saudi visa application.

This is usually sent to you by email, shown after payment, or provided by your visa agent or visa center.

Step 3: Enter Your Passport Number

Enter your passport number exactly as printed in your passport. Avoid spaces unless the official form specifically shows the same format.

Step 4: Complete The Captcha

Enter the security code shown on the page.

Step 5: Click Search Or Track Application

The system should show your application details if the record is found.

You may see details such as:

• Applicant Name

• Application Number

• Passport Number

• Visa Type

• Saudi Mission

• Number Of Entries

• Sponsor Name, If Applicable

• Current Status Or Visa Document

The KSA Visa platform can display entry visa application details such as application number, passport number, visa type, number of entries, Saudi mission, and applicant name.

Method 2: Check Saudi Visa Status On The MOFA Visa Platform

Use this method if your visa was issued through MOFA, a Saudi mission abroad, or you need to print or verify a visa.

Step 1: Go To The MOFA Visa Platform

Open the official MOFA Visa Platform and go to the visa inquiry or print visa page.

Step 2: Choose The Correct Search Values

The MOFA visa print page lets users choose search values such as Visa Number, Passport Number, Order Number, Hajj Ministry Reference Number, or First Name. It also asks for nationality.

For many users, the easiest combination is:

• First Value: Visa Number Or Order Number

• Second Value: Passport Number

• Nationality

• Captcha Code

Step 3: Enter Your Passport Number

Use the same passport number used in the Saudi visa application.

Step 4: Select Your Nationality

Choose your nationality from the dropdown list.

Step 5: Enter The Captcha And Submit

After submitting, the system should display your visa record if the details match.

What Details Do You Need Before Checking?

Before opening the tracking page, prepare:

• Passport Number

• Application Number

• Visa Number, If Already Issued

• Order Number Or Reference Number

• Nationality

• Email Used In The Application

• Payment Receipt, If Available

• Visa Center Receipt, If You Applied Through VFS Or An Agent

The official Saudi visa user manual says previous applications for visas from Saudi missions abroad can be searched using the application number and passport number.

What If You Applied Through A Travel Agent?

You can still check your Saudi visa status yourself if you have the correct details.

Ask your agent for:

• Application Number

• Visa Number, If Issued

• Order Number

• Reference Number

• Passport Number Used In The Application

• Email Address Used In The Application

Do not rely only on screenshots or verbal confirmation. If the visa has been issued, make sure the details match your passport.

Check:

• Full Name

• Passport Number

• Nationality

• Visa Type

• Number Of Entries

• Validity

• Duration Of Stay

• Saudi Mission Or Issuing Authority

What Does Each Saudi Visa Status Mean?

Exact wording can vary depending on the platform, visa type, and application route. In general:

The official KSA Visa complaint guide says electronic visa issuance can be available 24/7 and shows visa-related procedural services such as visa inquiry, issue an electronic visa, issue a visa, cancel a visa, and link biometric data to visa. It also notes that additional verification or security procedures can make some requests take longer.

What If It Says “No Record Found”?

Do not panic immediately. “No record found” does not always mean rejection.

Try these checks first:

• Recheck The Passport Number

• Remove Extra Spaces

• Try The Application Number Instead Of Visa Number

• Try The Order Number Instead Of Application Number

• Make Sure You Selected The Correct Nationality

• Check Whether You Are On The Right Platform

• Wait And Try Again Later If You Recently Applied

• Ask Your Agent Or Visa Center For The Correct Reference Number

If your application was submitted very recently, the record may not appear instantly. If the problem continues, contact KSA Visa support or the visa center where you applied.

Can You Track A Saudi Tourist eVisa The Same Way?

Yes, if you applied through the official KSA Visa platform, you should generally use Track Application on KSA Visa.

You will usually need:

• Application Number Or Visa Number

• Passport Number

• Captcha Code

If your eVisa is approved, check your email and spam folder too. Many eVisa approvals are sent electronically, but you should still verify the visa details before traveling.

Can You Track An Umrah Visa With Passport Number?

Usually, yes, but you may need an additional number such as a MOFA ID, Ministry of Hajj reference, application number, or order number.

The Saudi visa user manual says Hajj and Umrah eVisa forms can require details such as MOFA ID or MOHaj ID, passport number, nationality, and image code before continuing.

If you booked through an Umrah operator, ask them for the correct tracking number or reference number.

Can You Track A Saudi Work Visa With Passport Number?

Sometimes, but the route depends on how the work visa was processed.

You may need:

• Passport Number

• Application Number

• Sponsor Or Employer Reference

• Visa Authorization Number

• Saudi Mission Details

• Visa Center Receipt Number

If your employer or recruitment agency handled the application, ask them which platform was used and what reference number you should use.

Common Mistakes When Checking Saudi Visa Status

1. Using Passport Number Only

Most systems need your passport number plus another application identifier.

2. Entering The Wrong Passport Number

Use the exact passport number from the passport used in the application.

3. Checking The Wrong Platform

A tourist eVisa, work visa, Umrah visa, and consular visa may not always follow the same tracking path.

4. Confusing Visa Status With Visa Validity

A visa status check tells you whether the visa is issued or in process. Visa validity tells you whether the issued visa is still usable for travel.

5. Not Checking The Visa Details After Approval

Approval is not the final check. You still need to confirm that the visa details match your passport and trip.

6. Trusting Non-Official Websites Too Quickly

Use official Saudi platforms first. Be careful with websites that ask for unnecessary fees just to “check” your visa status.

Final Checklist Before You Travel To Saudi Arabia

Before departure, check:

• Visa Status Is Issued Or Approved

• Passport Number Matches The Visa

• Full Name Matches The Passport

• Nationality Is Correct

• Visa Type Matches Your Travel Purpose

• Number Of Entries Is Correct

• Visa Validity Covers Your Travel Date

• Duration Of Stay Is Enough For Your Trip

• Airline And Entry Requirements Are Checked

• You Have A Copy Of The Visa Saved Offline

If you are preparing documents for another visa application, you can also use Outbound Visa’s free tools to organize common travel requirements before submission

If your Saudi visa status is stuck, unclear, or different from what your agent told you, compare similar cases in the Outbound Visa Forum before taking the next step

Final Takeaway

You can track a Saudi Arabia visa status using your passport number, but passport number alone is usually not enough. Keep your application number, visa number, order number, or reference number ready before checking.

For the safest result, use the official KSA Visa or MOFA Visa Platform first. If your visa appears as approved or issued, check every detail carefully before traveling. If the system shows no record, recheck your numbers, try the correct platform, and contact your agent, visa center, or KSA Visa support if the problem continues.
