2) Consulate Visa through Agent 

Other countries need to apply through their nearest Saudi embassy or consulate. This types of visa is also very simple and online (e-visa), but for this type of visa you just need to contact with any Saudi embassy authorize agent. Because the agent will verify some document before to apply for you. You can easily find authorized agent. The agent will apply for you for e-visa. The agent will take his processing fee including the saudia visa processing fee (between 250 US dollar to 300-250 US dollar). But before the agent apply for you, you need to provide some important documents. I will list the documents. Time taken to issue an e-Visa is 1-2 business days in most cases.
Note: Currently I am processing for you just a facilitator, I will just charge the official fee including some extra tax (200 US Dollar). This offer only valid till  the end of February 2020. You can also talk with other agent too, if you find better option you can go through them. I am thinking you will not find such an offer because we are doing this based on a special request of a friend from China.
As a motivation here many brother and sister faced Umra related information problem, and lack of valid information too. Last year, I myself face problem and applied through below agents they are also trustworthy but little bit costly costly. I start this service for you people just a facilitator without any profit and business (You can find more about me from my home page of this website, I was in Sauida for three years, I did my Master from KSA and currently in China), because last year I faced many problem and the agent take much amounts too (300 US $), and they assign some useless steps and documents which also double cost.   I will share a link where you can find other agent as well. You can talk with them, if they give better option then go apply through them, because I am not doing this service as business point of view just a facilitator.
