Saudi Arabia Records 1 Million Tourist Visas Since Opening Of The Kingdom For Tourists

Avatar

Saudi Arabia officially launched an e-visa service for tourists around the beginning of 2019. After three years, including an extended period of COVID-19-related travel restrictions around the world, the kingdom has reached the million visa milestone.

The Ministry of Tourism officially confirmed the milestone.

This comes in the wake of a push for tourism that the kingdom has been undertaking for the past few years. One of the most recent changes to its visa policy is that it now allows residents of GCC member states to apply for an e-visa.

The kingdom is also offering a visa-on-arrival service to holders of valid US, UK, or Schengen visas.

People have reported earlier on how quickly they were being issued visas, with many getting them in less than 5 minutes. That’s as quick as a visa-on-arrival service.
