Saudi Arabia's E-Visa Scheme for Turkish Citizens

Dear Member,
In the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, with reference to the letter of the Ministry of Trade dated 20.10.2023 and numbered 00090132278 and the letter of the Ministry of Trade dated 20.10.2023 and numbered E-68460249-724.01.01-00090108648, it is reported that the Ministry of Tourism of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has added six countries, including Türkiye, to the list of countries covered by the e-visa programme; that in this context it is possible for our citizens to obtain, via the website https://visa.visitsaudi.com/, an electronic visa valid for one year, with multiple entries and a stay of 90 days; and that the purpose of use of this visa type covers tourism, umrah and business visits.

On the other hand, noting that for travel with the said visa type the passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into the country, travel must be made with the passport for which the e-visa was obtained, and a copy of the e-visa document must be kept available during entry procedures, it is stated that this development is expected to facilitate the travel of Turkish business people to the country and to contribute to the development of our economic and commercial relations with the country.

Kind regards,
Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
