Quick answer
Indian passport holders with a valid US, UK or Schengen visa — or residence in the US, UK or an EU country — are usually eligible for the Saudi tourist e-visa or a visa on arrival, without fingerprints at a visa centre. Some qualifying visas must have been used at least once to enter the country that issued them. The tourist e-visa is usually multiple entry for a year, with a stay limit per visit.
