Saudi Arabia announced that a new electronic service has been launched that allows passengers to obtain a transit visa for 4 days when they pass through the Kingdom.
Saudia had previously said that passengers holding a ticket from the airline would gain entry into the Kingdom for a period of 96 hours, during which they may perform Haj and Umrah.
The electronic service is effective as of Monday. It is available on application through the websites of Saudi-based airlines Saudia and Flynas.
According to Arab News, the application will be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who will process it and issue a digital visa, which can be received via email.
Local media reported that the visa is free of charge and is valid for three months.
