The laws of the country must be strictly followed
All these are among the conditions which must be met by the tourist visa holders. Those coming to the country are obliged to strictly follow all the instructions given by the authorities of the country regarding the visitor visa. A single entry visa is valid for three months. But it is also suggested that those who entered the country on this visa should not stay in the country for more than one month. At the same time, if it is a multiple entry tourist visa that can come and go in the country many times, the rule is that you should not stay in the country for more than three months in a single visit. This visa, which costs 300 riyals, is valid for one year. In between, you will be allowed to come and go in the country as many times as you want.
Identification documents must be carried at all times
The conditions state that the country’s laws must be fully obeyed, identification documents must be in possession at all times, and visas for any purpose must be enforced. Under the new guidelines, those arriving on tourist visas will be able to perform the Umrah pilgrimage at normal times. But according to the decision of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, there will be a ban on performing Umrah during the Hajj season. The instructions also say that you should leave the country before the visa expires.
Tourist visas are now available for GCC expatriates
It is reported that the e-visas announced as a part of simplifying Saudi tourism visa procedures have become available. Expatriates from other Gulf countries have already started getting tourist visas to visit Saudi Arabia. After registering on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia via email and submitting the application along with the required documents, the visa will be received within hours. A few people who got visas like this came to Saudi Arabia from Dubai and Bahrain in the past few days. The visa fee is $10. Health insurance is also mandatory for the duration of the visa. While applying on the site by email, you should attach a photocopy of your passport and Gulf countries residency document. If you answer questions like whether you are going for Umrah and pay, you will get a visa with your photo within hours. Earlier, expatriates from the Gulf countries used to come to Saudi Arabia using business visit visas. But with the implementation of the new e-visa system, traveling to Saudi Arabia, including performing Umrah, will become easier.
