The rest of the trip for an Indonesian passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Saudi Arabia entry requirements.
The details for an Indonesian passport.
Not on the tourist eVisa nationality list. Tourist eVisa / visa on arrival is available if you hold a valid US, UK or Schengen tourist or business visa that has been used at least once (digital entry stamp not accepted), or permanent residence in the US, UK or an EU country, or residence in a GCC state. Otherwise apply for a visit visa through the KSA Visa platform / a Saudi mission. Saudi Arabia suspended one-year multiple-entry visit visas for this nationality from 1 Feb 2025 (single-entry, up to 30 days only; reported as temporary; Hajj/Umrah/residence visas unaffected). Not confirmed whether this also limits the conditional eVisa route.
How long it must be valid.
Passport must be valid at least 6 months beyond the date of arrival (FCDO; official eVisa terms).
