28 February 2020


The Ministry of Tourism of Saudi Arabia has suspended the issuance of electronic tourist visas to citizens of seven countries with the most unfavorable epidemiological situation for the coronavirus.


In particular, according to the SPA Saudi news Agency, visa issuance is temporarily stopped for citizens of China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Italy and Kazakhstan.


"Citizens of these countries will also not be able to get tourist visas on arrival at Saudi airports", the report says.


Citizens of these countries who received Saudi tourist visas earlier will also not be able to use them to enter Saudi Arabia.


The authorities of the Kingdom say that these measures are temporary.
