To simplify travel procedures and boost tourism, Saudi Arabia has launched a unified national visa application platform. Saudi Arabia unifies visa applications for Hajj, Umrah, tourism, business, and work through a platform connecting 30+ ministries, authorities, and public sector organizations reported Saudi Press Agency.
This streamlined system marks a significant step towards enhancing ease of access and fostering greater international engagement with the Kingdom.
The new platform, accessible through dedicated websites and mobile apps, provides a one-stop shop for all visa applications, replacing the fragmented system across different government agencies. This user-friendly interface allows applicants to choose from various visa options tailored to their needs, including tourist, business, investment, and residency visas.
It is available in multiple languages, ensuring accessibility for a wider audience, and employs robust security measures to protect applicant data and ensure the integrity of the visa process.
This initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030, which aims to diversify its economy and position it as a global tourism and business hub. This marks a significant step towards achieving these goals by creating a more welcoming and accessible experience for international visitors.
