Is a valid Saudi Arabia visa in an expired passport still valid if traveling with my new passport?


Yes, you can! If your Saudi visa is in an expired passport, it’s still valid—you just need to travel with both passports:

  • ✅ The expired one (with the visa inside)
  • ✅ Your new, valid passport

Immigration understands this and accepts both together.


What You Need to Know:

  • ✔️ Carry both passports when flying and at immigration.
  • ✔️ Your name and details must match in both passports.
  • ✔️ Check the visa expiration date—the visa must still be valid.
  • ✔️ Don’t lose that old passport—it’s your visa proof!

A Few Things to Watch Out For:

  • ⚠️ Got an e-visa or QR code visa? Rules may be different—check with the Saudi embassy or consulate.
  • ⚠️ Transit countries or airlines might ask questions—call ahead just to be safe.
  • ⚠️ If your visa page is damaged, it may not be accepted.

Bottom Line:

Expired passport + valid Saudi visa + new passport = Good to go.

Just bring both passports, and you’re all set for your trip!
