All non-immigrant visa applicants must apply for a visa appointment on-line. The U.S. Embassy Riyadh and the U.S. Consulate General Dhahran are open for all non-immigrants visa services. The U.S. Consulate General Jeddah has limited the number of visa appointments available for scheduling until completion of the move to a new consulate compound in 2011.

Visa service appointments are scheduled on a more frequent basis at the Riyadh post.

Detailed information regarding nonimmigrant visas and the documents you will be required to present at your interview are provided through this service.  In addition, please note that all applicants age 14 – 79 must schedule an interview through this service to apply for a nonimmigrant visa.

Applicants under 14 or age 80 and older must submit their passports, completed applications, application fees and supporting documents by presenting them at the Embassy any business day, Saturday through Wednesday, between 8:00am and 4:00pm.  Documents for children under the age of 14 must be presented by one of the child’s parents or legal guardian. The consular officer reserves the right to ask any applicant to appear for a personal interview.

Exception: if you are the parent of a child under 14, but you are scheduling an appointment to apply for your own visa, please present your child’s completed application, application fee and supporting documents in addition to all of your documents the day of your appointment.
