Saudi Visa Check by Passport Number: KSA Visa and MOFA Steps

To check a Saudi visa with only a passport number, use the free MOFA page “Search for a submitted application” on visa.mofa.gov.sa: enter the passport number, nationality (India), visa type and the Saudi mission (New Delhi or Mumbai), then the captcha. If you have the visa or application number, track it on ksavisa.sa with that number plus your passport number. No login is needed for either.

This guide is for workers in India waiting for a Saudi work visa, families waiting for a family visit visa, and anyone who wants to check that a visa from an agent is real. After you land, the steps for your border number and new Iqama are at the end.

Which check should I use?

Method 1: Check with passport number on MOFA (no login)

1. Open visa.mofa.gov.sa/VisaPerson/GetApplicantData. The page opens in Arabic; click English at the top if you want.
2. Passport number (رقم الجواز): type it exactly as printed. An Indian passport number is one capital letter followed by 7 digits.
3. Current nationality (الجنسية الحالية): choose India (الهند).
4. Visa type (نوع التأشيرة): pick the right one. Common choices:
   • Work (عمل) – new job visa
   • Family visit (زيارة عائلية) – family visit visa
   • Personal visit (زيارة شخصية)
   • Umrah (عمرة)
5. Saudi mission (جهة القدوم): for India, choose New Delhi (نيودلهي) or Mumbai (مومباي), whichever mission handles your application. If one shows nothing, try the other.
6. Type the captcha and press Search (إجراء البحث).

If the visa is issued, you see the visa details. This is the same page used to track visa stamping, so it is useful after your passport goes to the Tasheer/VFS centre. For family visits, see also our family visit visa status guide.

Method 2: Track on KSA Visa (ksavisa.sa)

KSA Visa is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ new visa platform. Its tracker needs a number from the application, not just the passport.

1. Open ksavisa.sa/track-application.
2. Application/Visa number: the visa number or the application number from your papers or email.
3. National ID / Passport number: your passport number (the person coming), or the inviter’s Saudi ID, Iqama number or commercial registration number.
4. Type the captcha and press Track my application.

Use this when your agent or employer has given you a visa number. If the number does not match your passport, the visa is not yours. Ask the employer to confirm in writing.

Method 3: MOFA home page inquiry (with application number)

The home page of visa.mofa.gov.sa has an inquiry box for applications already submitted.

1. Choose the inquiry type.
2. Choose how to search: application number, visa document number or visa application number.
3. Enter the number and the record number (the sponsor’s ID).
4. Type the captcha and press Inquiry (استعلام).

This suits the sponsor in Saudi Arabia, who has these numbers.

Print your e-visa

On the MOFA Print Visa page, choose two details (for example visa number and passport number), enter them, select your nationality, type the captcha and press inquiry. Keep a printed copy for the airline and immigration.

After you land: border number and new Iqama

The visa check ends when you enter Saudi Arabia. From that day:

1. Border number: Jawazat gives you a 10-digit border number at entry. Find it on Absher with your visa number and visa issue date. Full steps: Saudi border number check.
2. Is your employer showing you as their worker? The free HRSD Non-Saudi Employee Inquiry accepts a passport number plus nationality (or border/Iqama number). It shows whether you are on an employer’s record.
3. New Iqama: your employer issues the Iqama. Once you have the Iqama number, check its validity with our Iqama expiry check guide.

Common problems and fixes

FAQs

Can I check a Saudi visa with only my passport number?

Yes, on the MOFA “Search for a submitted application” page. You also choose your nationality, the visa type and the Saudi mission. The KSA Visa tracker needs a visa or application number as well.

How do I check if my Saudi work visa is real?

Search for it yourself on visa.mofa.gov.sa or ksavisa.sa. A real visa shows on the official site with your passport number. Do not rely on a PDF or screenshot alone.

Where do I find the visa number?

It is on the visa print or e-visa, and the sponsor can see it in their account. For a work visa, ask your employer or recruiting agent.

Can I check my new Iqama status by passport number?

Partly. The HRSD inquiry page accepts a passport number and shows whether you are registered with an employer. To see the Iqama’s validity you need the Iqama number.

Does the visa check show my medical result?

No. The medical is a separate step. See our guide to Wafid medical status.
