Overview
The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Moscow is the Kingdom's diplomatic mission to Russia, processing visa applications for Russian residents, providing consular services to Saudi nationals, and supporting the trade relationship between the two countries.
Visa Services
Russian residents applying to visit Saudi Arabia for tourism, business, or family visits should note that most eligible nationalities can now obtain an eVisa online rather than applying in person at the embassy — this also extends to holders of a valid Schengen, UK or US visa and to permanent residents of the US, EU or UK, with a visa on arrival available to the same travellers. Umrah can be performed year-round on the tourism e-visa, with the Umrah permit applied for online; Hajj needs a separate permit and only takes place in the Hajj season. Purpose-specific or long-term visas that require embassy processing are handled through the consular section, with requirements typically including a valid passport, passport photo, and purpose-specific supporting documents.
Consular Services
The embassy provides passport and travel document services, civil registration, document attestation and legalization, and emergency consular assistance for Saudi nationals in Russia.
Trade & Export Support
Russia and Saudi Arabia, both leading global oil producers, maintain a significant energy relationship, cooperating on global oil-market matters through the OPEC+ framework alongside broader trade in agriculture and industrial goods. The embassy's economic section supports bilateral trade promotion and business matchmaking between Russian and Saudi companies.
Service Area

Appointment Information
Consular appointments are booked through the embassy's official channels; visa applications for most nationalities are processed via the Saudi eVisa portal rather than in-person embassy visits.
