Saudi Arabia has introduced a faster visa processing facility for Pakistani citizens, allowing eligible travellers to receive electronic tourist visas on the same day.
The initiative aims to simplify travel arrangements and reduce waiting times for Pakistanis planning visits to the Kingdom. Moreover, the new facility combines visa applications with essential travel bookings through approved service providers.
New Visa Facility Simplifies Travel Arrangements
Under the Package Visa programme, Pakistani travellers can obtain visas through an integrated booking process. Applicants can arrange their flights, hotel accommodation and visa through authorised travel platforms.
Once applicants complete their bookings and authorities verify the required information, the system issues an electronic visa. Consequently, travellers can avoid separate application procedures and embassy visits.
The initiative forms part of Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to improve tourism services and make international travel more convenient.
Pakistani Travellers Can Access Digital Applications
The Package Visa programme includes Pakistan among seven eligible countries. Travellers can access the facility through approved platforms offering integrated tourism packages.
However, applicants must fulfil the programme’s booking requirements before receiving their visas. These packages generally include confirmed return flights and hotel accommodation, alongside the electronic visa.
Saudi authorities have also outlined specific conditions regarding package costs, travel dates and accommodation arrangements. Therefore, applicants should verify the latest requirements through authorised providers before completing their bookings.
The development offers Pakistani travellers another option for arranging visits to Saudi Arabia while benefiting from a streamlined digital application process.
