Jeddah: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Saturday allowed visitors outside Saudi Arabia to extend the validity of their visas that expired due to the entry ban of travelers from 20 countries in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
As per Saudi Press Agency, the ministry stated that the validity of unused visas can be extended until July 31, free of cost.
In this regard, the kingdom launched an electronic service and announced the free service.
