New Umrah visa on arrival

With the new visa-on-arrival scheme for Umrah, pilgrims can enter Saudi Arabia through sea, air, or land, granting visitors a 90-day stay within the kingdom.

In addition to facilitating trips, the visas also promote kinship ties and other visitors can also avail the offer. Now, tourists can visit their family members who live in Saudi Arabia and explore the kingdom.
