Free visit visa extension announced in Saudi Arabia
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.
According to the statement, visitors from outside Saudi Arabia can benefit from the service and make the necessary extension of their visas by entering the ministry's e-visa services platform here.
The electronic service has been launched in coordination with the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Finance.
The move is a part of the Saudi government's efforts to mitigate the effects of the precautionary measures taken to deal with the deadly coronavirus in the Kingdom.
