MUSCAT : Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched the electronic stopover transit visa for international visitors arriving in the country by air from Monday. The free transit visa entitles visa holders to stay in the kingdom for four days, and the duration of the visa itself is three months. The free-of-charge Stopover Visa has been launched in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism (MT), the Ministry of Interior (MOI), the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MOHU), the Saudi Tourism Authority (STA), Saudia, and Flynas.
The Stopover Visa application will be automatically available through the airline booking platforms for all passengers travelling to their final destination on Saudia or Flynas airlines. A stopover can be made through any airport in Saudi Arabia. For many, the application process can be completed in under three minutes and can be applied for up to 90 days before travel.
