Travelling to the Kingdom? A new Saudi transit visa has just launched for stopover passengers.
The free Saudi vis allows visitors travellers arriving by air to stay for four days in Saudi. Furthermore, the visas will be issued with relevant national airlines electronically and they will be valid for three months.
The new Saudi transit visa was announced on Monday January 30 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it has immediately come into effect.
The new Saudi transit visa allows visitors to stop by the Kingdom for tourism and commuting as well as to perform Umrah and Hajj.

To apply for the free Saudi transit visa, visitors will need to visit the electronic platforms for SAUDIA airlines and Flynas.
The application will be sent directly to the unified national visa platform at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where the request will be processed and issued and sent via email to the applier and will last for a duration of four days. Like we said, the visa can be extended for up to three months and it’s free.
There have recently been a number of Saudi visa updates that make travelling to the Kingdom even easier. A new extension of the visit visa was announced in November 2022, in addition to the launch of a new educational visa welcoming students to study from over 150 countries.
