Why this verdict

Saudi citizens use the general tourist visa-on-arrival route. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short visitor travel only. Work, residence, long-term permits, digital-resident extensions, diplomatic/official missions, carrier handling, onward-entry documents and Palau immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Palau Immigration source before booking. Visitors must complete the Palau Entry Form QR process, meet six-month passport-validity, onward-ticket/support and Palau Pledge requirements, and must not work or change purpose unless separately authorized.
