Going to Saudi Arabia has become much easier than before when people have to stand in long queues and apply for visas. In those days, not one visit used to be enough and one may have to visit more than once. On the first occasion, one will generally come to know about eligibilities. The frequently asked questions could be answered, but not all at the same time. 

In the worst case, the second visit used to be required to clarify all those questions that come to mind later. And finally, one must come again with all papers and documents prepared on the premises. There were even worse times when one had to go back due to faulty papers and again visit the embassy for a final try. Even after all this, there is less assurance of a successful visa application. However, with the advent of Saudi Arabia evisa, the process has become even faster and the liability of getting a visa to the kingdom has increased to a great extent. 

The problem with the traditional system

This used to cause heavy financial losses as cancellations at the last moment resulting in a huge deduction from the airlines.  One had to have the tickets before applying as without the travelling in and out dates, visa applications were not accepted. Thus, the financial risk was much higher with the older systems.

Therefore, one does not have to make repeated visits to the embassy again and again.
