Saudi Arabia has expanded their visit visas to nationals from eight countries, under which they will be allowed to travel without a prior visa to Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi Government revealed that the visit visa is being expanded to nationals from Maldives, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, South Africa, Albania, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan.

A tweet from the Ministry of Tourism of Saudi Arabia added that "Saudi Arabia welcomes the world by expanding the issuance of visit visas to 8 new countries and facilitating the visa issuance procedures, either electronically or at KSA ports, in order to offer an unforgettable travel experience."

The visit visa entitles you to Tourism, Umrah, Business as well as visiting friends and family.

This development comes after the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been introducing quite a bit of change in its e-visa policies.
