RIYADH: Omani citizens can use the national identity card as a valid travel document while going to Saudi Arabia, the Royal Oman Police (ROP) said on Friday.
The confirmation from ROP comes after Saudi Arabia lifted the suspension of the use of the national identity card as the valid document for the travel to and from Saudi Arabia for the Saudi citizens and for the citizens of other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) said Saudi citizens can travel to the GCC countries using the national identity card.
