Saudi Arabia: don't apply for your transit visa too early

An electronic transit visa can be issued free of charge by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, when booking an air ticket with the following airlines Saudia And Flynas.

All nationalities are eligible.The passport must not expire within 6 months of arrival in the country. When booking, simply select your destination of departure and arrival, then choose the flights with the desired connection time. This transit visa allows you to stay in Saudi Arabia for up to 96 hours. A form must be completed, and a passport photo must be attached. After payment, an e-mail containing the electronic visa and medical insurance, included in the application, will be sent.

Please note, however, that transit visas are valid for 90 days from the date of issue, which means that if the trip is a long one, it will not be possible to obtain this offer via the company's website.. On the other hand, it will be possible to apply for a transit visa at an embassy for a fee, or to apply for a tourist e-Visa, valid for one year. Several travelers have told us about this specificity.

It is interesting to note that it is possible to perform the Umrah pilgrimage during the stopover in Saudi Arabia, by making reservations on the website Nusuk.sa.

This visa also entitles the holder to a free night's accommodation; conditions can be found on the Saudia Airlines website.

Please note that conditions may vary from company to company.
