Saudi Arabia Includes Pakistan in First Phase of Tourist Visa Package – Check Price

Saudi Arabia has launched a new tourist visa package programme to make travel easier for international visitors. Pakistan is among the first seven countries included in the new initiative.

According to the Saudi Ministry of Tourism, the new system combines the tourist visa, flight tickets, and hotel booking into one travel package, making the application process simpler.

Under the programme, travellers do not need to apply for a separate visa or visit a Saudi embassy. After buying an approved travel package, they will receive their electronic tourist visa, travel insurance, and other required documents by email.

The programme is currently available for citizens of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Egypt, Jordan, and Mexico.

Saudi authorities said the e-visa is expected to be issued within about 48 hours after payment for the package is completed.

The single-entry tourist visa will be valid for three months. Visitors can stay in Saudi Arabia for a minimum of two days and up to 88 days.

The starting price for a two-day travel package is 4,000 Saudi riyals per adult. Each additional day will cost 1,000 Saudi riyals more.

Travellers can also include entertainment activities, events, and other experiences in their package by paying extra charges.
