The Saudi passport is getting stronger.

The list of countries that offer Saudis a visa on arrival or e-visa facility is growing by the day. The latest of which is the land of the Taj Mahal – India.

The Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia announced the new E-Visa facility on their Twitter account.

Happy to announce that E- Visa Facility has now been extended to Saudi Nationals. Now Saudi Nationals can apply for the Visa online from the comfort of their homes. The Visas available on this platform are for Tourist, Business and Medical purposes. https://t.co/MXnwJvmnIi
