Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Tourism has expanded its e-visa program to include citizens from six more countries: Türkiye, Thailand, Panama, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Seychelles, and Mauritius.
This means that people from these countries can now apply for a visa to visit Saudi Arabia online or upon arrival at any of the Kingdom’s international airports.
The e-visa is valid for one year and allows for multiple entries, with a maximum stay of 90 days. It can be used for leisure travel, business trips, and religious visits (Umrah only).
Saudi Arabia is hoping that this expansion of the e-visa program will help to boost tourism to the country. In 2022, Saudi Arabia saw a 93% increase in tourism visits compared to 2021, and the country is on track to achieve its target of 100 million visits by 2030.
The Saudi government is also investing heavily in tourism infrastructure, with new hotels, resorts, and attractions being developed across the country.
