Driven by the historic Saudi Vision 2030 tourism transformation, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia welcomes international travelers with open arms. Whether you are traveling to explore the mesmerizing 2,000-year-old Nabataean tombs in AlUla, marvel at the futuristic mega-city projects in Riyadh, take in the sunset along the Jeddah Corniche, experience the cool rose valleys of Taif, or fulfill the sacred journey of Umrah and Ziyarah in Madinah—securing a Tourist Visa for Saudi Arabia from India in Chennai is now seamless and rapid.
Located centrally near Kodambakkam Over Bridge in Choolaimedu, AK Travel Services has stood as Chennai's premier consular travel agency for over 15 years. We assist applicants with every stage of the process: profile screening, instant online eVisa applications (for holders of US, UK, or Schengen visas and GCC residents), 1-Year Multiple Entry Consular Tourist Visas, mandatory MOFA travel medical insurance, Nusuk app registration, and complete VFS TasHeel biometrics appointment scheduling in Chennai.
Depending on your passport credentials and travel itinerary, AK Travel Services processes all official tourist visa categories recognized by the Saudi Ministry of Tourism:
The most popular and versatile visa for frequent travelers, tourists, and pilgrims wishing to enter Saudi Arabia multiple times a year.
Fast-track approval within 24–48 hours for Indian passport holders holding eligible western tourist visas or GCC residency.
For regular Indian citizens without western visas, processed via the TasHeel visa application network and Saudi Consulate.
One of the greatest advantages introduced under Saudi Arabia's progressive tourism reforms is that Indian citizens holding a valid Saudi Arabia Tourist Visa are officially permitted to perform Umrah in Makkah and visit the sacred Rawdah Sharif at the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah.
Unlike traditional Umrah visas that carry rigid group restrictions and fixed itineraries, a Saudi Tourist Visa gives you total freedom to travel independently, visit family members across Saudi Arabia, combine religious pilgrimage with sightseeing in Taif, Jeddah, or Riyadh, and stay up to 90 days.
