I am (Indian Citizen - Staying in UK through Work Permit VISA valid until 2027) )seeking assistance regarding a transit visa for my upcoming travel.

I am scheduled to travel from London (LHR) to Jeddah (JED) via British Airways on 18th July 2025 and onward from Jeddah (JED) to Bangalore (BLR) via Saudia Airlines on 23rd July 2025(Transit of 94 hours). However, due to a booking oversight, my flight from London to Jeddah was mistakenly booked with British Airways instead of Saudia Airlines but Jeddah to Banglore flights are booked via Saudia Airlines.

Can I get on-arrival transit VISA or do I need to take 3 months Umrah VISA ? Or is there any option to take online Transit VISA ?

Thanks in advance.

As a UK resident with a valid, previously used UK visa, you are eligible for e-visa and visa on arrival.

I would advise getting the e-visa, it's cheaper and reduces the risk of being incorrectly denied boarding by airline staff.

Details: I am transiting through Saudi Arabia. Do I need a visa?
