Enjaz Visa Saudi Arabia: Application, Check & Status Guide

If you are applying for a Saudi visa, or waiting for one, you will keep meeting the name Enjaz. Agents mention it, older guides are built around it, and search results still promise an “enjaz visa check” — yet the old Enjazit website no longer works the way those guides describe.

That confusion is exactly what this guide clears up. You will learn what the Enjaz visa Saudi Arabia system actually was, why Enjazit was shut down, which official platform replaced it, and how to check your Saudi visa application status today using your application number and passport number.

Everything below reflects the current official setup in October 2026. Where a detail cannot be confirmed on an official source, we say so instead of guessing.

What Is an Enjaz Visa?

Enjaz is not a type of visa. It was the name of the electronic visa services platform run for Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). The name also appears as Enjazit, from Enjaz Information Technology, the company behind the system.

Through Enjaz, visa applications were submitted online to Saudi embassies and consulates, visa fees were paid electronically, and applicants, sponsors and visa service offices could follow an application instead of queuing at a mission. If your employer, sponsor or agent says your file is “on Enjaz,” they simply mean your Saudi visa application was processed through this MOFA system.

The platform served three groups:

Individuals applying for visas or following their own applications
Companies and organisations sponsoring employees or visitors
Authorised visa service offices and recruitment agencies submitting applications on behalf of applicants and employers

Visa types that historically ran through Enjaz included work and employment visas, business and commercial visit visas, family visit visas, personal visit visas, government visit visas, residence visas, student visas, newborn visas, companion visas and extensions of exit re-entry visas. Tourist eVisas were the main exception — they were handled on a separate tourism platform, not through Enjaz.

Is Enjaz Still Working? The Move to visa.mofa.gov.sa

No — not in the form most older guides describe. The old Enjazit portal has been shut down, and its official address (enjazit.com.sa) no longer leads to a working visa services system. Anyone still linking to Enjazit, or telling you to “register on Enjaz” before you apply, is working from outdated information.

MOFA replaced Enjaz with the Saudi Visa Platform at visa.mofa.gov.sa. It is the same kind of system under a new home: the official place for the electronic visa services that Enjaz used to handle, including applications, status inquiries and printing, now reached through the MOFA platform instead of Enjazit.

At the same time, a second platform called KSA Visa (ksavisa.sa) has been rolled out as a newer unified system. Some applicants are now directed there instead, depending on how and where their application was submitted. So there is no longer one single “Enjaz website” to go to — your correct platform depends on your application.

In practice, the rule is simple:

Platform	What it is	Use it when
Enjaz / Enjazit	The former MOFA visa services platform	Never — it has been shut down
visa.mofa.gov.sa	The MOFA Saudi Visa Platform that replaced Enjaz	Your application was submitted through MOFA, a sponsor, an embassy or an agency
ksavisa.sa	The newer unified KSA Visa platform	Your application was submitted through KSA Visa itself

If you are not sure where your application was filed, start with visa.mofa.gov.sa — it is the direct replacement for Enjaz, and it is where most older applications and references point.

Enjaz Registration: Do You Need an Account?

On the old Enjaz platform, registration was part of the process for some users, and many older guides still describe an “Enjaz registration” step in detail. That step no longer applies in the same way, because the old platform has been shut down.

Today, whether you need an account depends on who submitted your application:

If you are checking the status of a work visa or a visit visa that a sponsor applied for, you usually do not need to register or log in at all — the public inquiry only needs your application number and passport number.
If you are applying for a family visit visa through the MOFA platform, the sponsor may need to log in with their national single sign-on account to submit the application.
If a visa service office or recruitment agency handled your case, they will have submitted it through their own company account, and you will simply check the status with the reference numbers they give you.

So if an agent handled your application, do not look for an Enjaz registration page — ask them for the application number and passport number instead, and use the status check below.

In short: the status check itself is public and free. Registration is only relevant for sponsors or offices who are submitting new applications, not for applicants checking an existing one.

How to Check Your Enjaz Visa Application Status

You can check your Saudi visa application status in a few minutes. The steps below use the current MOFA Saudi Visa Platform at visa.mofa.gov.sa. If your application was filed through KSA Visa, use the same steps on ksavisa.sa instead.

Open visa.mofa.gov.sa in your browser.
On the home page, find the visa inquiry or tracking option. On the current MOFA platform, look for the section labelled “Track Application” or “Inquiry” on the home page, or open the Services menu and choose the visa inquiry service.
Choose the inquiry type. Select “Visa Application” (not “Visa Number” — that option is for checking a visa that has already been issued).
Enter your application number. Type the application number exactly as shown on your application form or the slip your agent gave you. It usually starts with the letter E followed by digits.
Enter your passport number. Type it exactly as it appears in your passport, with no spaces.
Enter the image code. Type the characters shown in the captcha image, then submit the form.
Read your status. The platform shows the current state of your application. See the table below for what each status means.
Print or save the result if you need it. If your visa has been issued, use the print option to keep a copy for your travel documents.

The platform then shows the current state of your application. Use the status table in the next section to understand what each result means, and what to do next.

Checking by Application Number vs by Visa Number

The inquiry form asks you to choose what you are searching with. This choice is where most “not found” errors come from, so use the right one for your situation:

Visa Application: Use this while your visa is still being processed. It searches by your application number and passport number, and shows whether the application is under process, approved or rejected.
Visa Number: Use this only after your visa has been issued. It searches by the visa number itself, which is different from the application number, and is mainly used to view or print an issued visa.
Hajj Ministry Reference Number: Some applicants, especially for Hajj and Umrah-related services, may be given a reference number from the Hajj Ministry instead of a standard application number. If the platform offers this inquiry type, use it with your passport number in the same way.

Some applicants and agents also talk about an ‘E number’. That is simply the application number itself — it starts with the letter E — not a separate reference. If someone asks for your E number, give them the application number from your form.

Can You Check With a Passport Number Only?

No. The MOFA inquiry always needs at least two references together — your application number (or visa number, or Hajj Ministry reference number) plus your passport number. A passport number alone is not enough to find your application, because the platform searches by the combination of the two. If you have lost your application number, check the confirmation email or message from your sponsor or agent, the application form copy, or the slip from the visa service office. If none of those are available, ask your sponsor or the office that submitted the application — they can retrieve the number from their own account.

What Your Application Status Means

Once you submit the inquiry, the platform shows a short status. The wording varies slightly between the MOFA platform and KSA Visa, but the meaning is usually one of these:

Status	What it means	What to do
Under process	The application is still with MOFA or the Saudi mission	Wait and check again later; do not file a duplicate
Approved	The visa has been approved	Follow the instructions for stamping or printing
Issued	The visa has been issued in your passport or electronically	Verify the details and prepare to travel
Rejected	The application was refused	Ask your sponsor or the mission about the reason before reapplying
Expired	The visa validity passed without travel	A new application is needed

An ‘under process’ result is normal for several days or weeks after submission, depending on the visa type and the mission handling it. Only start chasing the case if the status has not changed well beyond the usual processing time for your visa type, or if your sponsor or agent tells you action is needed.

Enjaz Visa Fees: What Is Free and What Varies

One question comes up in almost every Enjaz search: how much does it cost? The answer depends on which part of the process you mean.

Checking your application status on the MOFA platform is free. You do not pay to use the inquiry form.
There is no single published “Enjaz fee” for the visa itself, because the visa fee depends on the visa type, the applicant’s nationality and the mission processing it.
If you use a visa service office or agency, their service charge is separate from the official visa fee, and it is set by the office itself.
Processing time also varies. Some applications are decided in days, others take weeks, depending on the visa type, the mission’s workload and whether extra documents or checks are needed.

What If Your Application Is Not Showing?

A “not found” result is common, and it usually has a simple cause. Work through these checks before assuming something is wrong with your application:

Re-type your passport number exactly as it appears in your passport, with no spaces or extra characters.
Confirm your application number. It usually starts with the letter E, and it is easy to confuse with a receipt or payment reference.
Make sure you selected “Visa Application” as the inquiry type, not “Visa Number”, unless your visa has already been issued.
Wait and try again later. The platform can be slow or temporarily unavailable, especially around peak travel seasons.
If your application was submitted through KSA Visa, try ksavisa.sa instead of the MOFA platform.
Ask your sponsor or agent to confirm the details they submitted, including the passport number and application number.
Contact the Saudi mission or the platform’s support channels if the result still does not appear after several days.

Never pay a stranger who claims they can make your application appear or speed it up. The inquiry is free, and no third party can change a result on the official platform.

Enjaz the Visa Platform Is Not Enjaz Pay

Search results sometimes mix up two different services that share the Enjaz name. The visa platform described in this guide is run by MOFA and handles visa applications and status checks.

Enjaz Pay is a separate service — a money transfer and payments platform. It has nothing to do with your visa application, and you cannot check a visa status through it. If you land on a payments page while searching for your visa, you are on the wrong service.

After Your Visa Is Issued

When the inquiry shows your visa as issued, do these final checks before you travel:

Verify the name, passport number, visa type and validity dates on the visa itself. Any mismatch should be raised with the mission or your sponsor before you fly.
Print the visa or save the electronic copy where you can reach it during travel, including at check-in and at immigration.
Confirm your travel dates fall inside the visa validity window. Travelling outside that window can mean being refused boarding or entry.
Check whether you need any additional documents for your visa type, such as medical reports, insurance or employer letters.
If you are arriving on an approved visa to live or work in Saudi Arabia, plan your first days as well as your flight — including what you can bring through customs under the Saudi Arabia duty-free allowance rules so nothing you pack causes a problem at the airport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is an Enjaz visa?

A: There is no separate “Enjaz visa.” Enjaz (Enjazit) was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ electronic platform through which Saudi visa applications — work, business, family visit and others — were submitted, paid for and tracked. People use the phrase to mean a Saudi visa application processed through that system.

Q: What happened to the Enjaz visa platform?

A: The Enjazit website was shut down and its services were migrated to the MOFA Saudi Visa Platform at visa.mofa.gov.sa. The old address redirects there. A newer unified platform, KSA Visa at ksavisa.sa, also handles applications submitted through it.

Q: How can I check my Enjaz visa status?

A: Go to visa.mofa.gov.sa, open the Inquiry service, choose Visa Application, and enter your application number and passport number, then complete the verification code and click Search. The check is free and needs no account or login.

Q: Can I check my Saudi visa status using my passport number only?

A: No. The passport number must be paired with a second identifier — your application number, or the visa number if the visa is already issued — plus the verification code. If you do not have the application number, get it from your sponsor, employer, agent or submission receipt.

Q: How long does Saudi visa processing usually take?

A: It varies by visa type, nationality and the mission handling the application, and no single official timeline applies to all cases. Rather than relying on estimates, check the MOFA inquiry regularly — once the status changes to issued, the process is complete.

Q: Do I need a Saudi phone number to check my visa status?

A: No. The MOFA and KSA Visa inquiry services work with your application or visa number and passport number, with no Saudi mobile number required. A Saudi number is only relevant to resident platforms such as Absher, which are separate services.

Q: Is Enjaz the same as Enjaz Pay?

A: No. Enjaz Pay is a banking and remittance service that shares the name. Saudi visa applications, inquiries and printing are handled only on the official MOFA platforms, visa.mofa.gov.sa and ksavisa.sa.
