Earlier, the Saudi cabinet had given its approval to the State incurring the costs of visa e-services for Hayya Card holders, with regard to issuing a Saudi Arabian entry visa, according to reports.
It was also recently announced that Muslim holders of the Hayya Card can perform Umrah in Saudi Arabia with a free Saudi visa from November 11 to December 18. Holders of the same card can also visit the holy city of Madina.
The visa is available for free, but the holder must get an obligatory medical insurance from the visa platform, a Saudi official had told television channel ‘Al Ekhbariya’.
The visa will be valid for entering the kingdom starting from November 11.
