Saudi Arabian Embassy in New Delhi

The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in New Delhi is the Kingdom's diplomatic mission in India, working alongside a Consulate General in Mumbai. India is home to one of the largest expatriate communities in Saudi Arabia and among the largest annual Hajj pilgrim contingents in the world, and the embassy's work reflects both: labour and residency matters for the diaspora sit alongside a steady flow of Hajj and Umrah travellers, in addition to the usual visa and consular functions.

Indian residents travelling to Saudi Arabia for business, family visits, or Umrah can apply through the Saudi eVisa platform or, where a straightforward online route doesn't apply, through the embassy's consular section; the same online route (plus a visa on arrival) is open to holders of a valid Schengen, UK, or US visa and to permanent residents of the US, EU, or UK. Umrah can be performed year-round with a permit applied for online. Hajj is a separate, much larger undertaking — it needs its own Hajj permit, runs only in the fixed Hajj season, and in India is coordinated through the Haj Committee of India and the state Haj committees rather than the tourism e-visa system.

The embassy provides passport and travel document services, civil registration (birth, marriage, death), power-of-attorney and document attestation, and emergency assistance for Saudi nationals in India.

India and Saudi Arabia are strategic economic partners, formalised through the India-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council established in 2019, with India among Saudi Arabia's largest crude oil export markets and Saudi Arabia hosting one of the largest Indian expatriate workforces of any country. The embassy's economic section supports bilateral trade promotion and business matchmaking between Indian and Saudi companies.

The embassy directly serves northern and central India; residents of Maharashtra and the west of the country are served by the Consulate General in Mumbai.

Consular appointments are booked through the embassy's official channels; visa applications for most nationalities are handled via the Saudi eVisa portal rather than in-person embassy visits. Applicants should confirm current procedures on the embassy's official website before travel.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's National Day is September 23. Residents of Maharashtra and western India are served by the Consulate General in Mumbai rather than the embassy.
