Riyadh: Saudi Arabia has introduced a new Tourist Package Visa for citizens of Pakistan and six other countries as part of its efforts to boost tourism under the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 strategy.
Saudi Minister of Tourism Ahmed Al-Khateeb said the Kingdom has significantly simplified travel procedures since the launch of Vision 2030 by introducing facilities such as the electronic tourist visa (e-Visa), visa on arrival, and transit visa options.
