Saudi Arabia eases tourist eVisa for GCC residents, Schengen visa holders

Tokyo, 2 September, /AJMEDIA/

Saudi Arabia will enable GCC residents to easily apply for its eVisa and residents of the UK, US and EU to get a visa on arrival, the Kingdom announced on Thursday, AJMEDIA reports citing Al Arabiya.

The announcement was made on Thursday, and follows a decree signed by the Kingdom’s Minister of Tourism. The GCC resident permit must be valid for at least three months.

Holders of a valid tourist or business visa from the UK, US or Schengen visa holders can continue to avail the visa on arrival provided that the visa was used to enter the visa-issuing country at least once.

The tourist visa does not allow its holder to perform Hajj and Umrah during the Hajj season, Al Arabiya reported.
