Saudi Arabia has decided to provide electronic visit visas free of cost to those football fans who will be reaching Qatar in November to watch FIFA Cup 2022.
Anyone attending any of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 matches is required to get a Hayya card from the Qatari authorities. The card works as a visa, match ticket, transport ticket, and gives access to some fan zones.
Taking benefits of the FIFA Cup in Qatar, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched on Sunday a service through which Hayya card holders can obtain a free electronic visa to enter the Kingdom.
Hayya card holders can complete their Saudi visa application at https://visa.mofa.gov.sa.
Qatar said that more than 1.5 million people from around the world have applied for the compulsory pass for the World Cup, that begins from November 20.
