Saudi Arabia Launches New Package Visa for Pakistani Travelers

Saudi Arabia has launched a new package visa system to make travel easier for international visitors, including Pakistanis.

The new initiative allows eligible travelers to apply for a tourist visa while booking a complete travel package through approved travel companies.

Instead of arranging visas, flights, hotels, and other travel services separately, visitors can complete everything in one booking. The package may also include tours, events, and other tourism activities.

Saudi Tourism Minister Ahmed Al Khateeb said the new system is designed to simplify the travel process and make Saudi Arabia more accessible to tourists from around the world.

Saudi Arabia remains one of the most popular destinations for Pakistanis, who visit the Kingdom for Hajj, Umrah, work, business, and tourism. According to Pakistan’s travel industry, the number of Pakistani travelers increased from 2.7 million in 2024 to an estimated 2.87 million in 2025.

The Package Visa will first be offered through selected travel companies that meet Saudi service standards and provide 24/7 customer support. Saudi authorities said the program will later expand to more travel partners and additional markets.
