Saudi Arabia has announced changes to the way it issues visas for workers and visitors to the Kingdom.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched a new initiative, cancelling the visa sticker on passports and switching to an e-visa with QR code.
The new procedure is part of the digitalisation of the ministry’s consular services, including work permits, residence, and visit visas.
The new procedure has been rolled out in the initial phase at Saudi Arabia’s diplomatic missions in countries including UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
