No, you do not have to be a US citizen to apply for a US passport. While US citizens are the primary recipients of US passports, certain non-citizens may also be eligible under specific circumstances. One example is lawful permanent residents (green card holders), who can apply for a US passport once they have become permanent residents.
Additionally, some individuals without US citizenship but with a qualifying reason, such as certain refugees or asylees, may also be able to apply for a US passport. However, these cases are subject to specific requirements and eligibility criteria.You can visit website of Saudi Arabia Visa for detailed information.
