Saudi Arabia removed another coronavirus-related travel measure today.
Holders of visas for the United States, the United Kingdom and the Schengen area in Europe can receive a 12-month visa on arrival upon entering the kingdom. The measure applies to travelers flying to Saudi Arabia via one of its national airlines — Saudia, Flynas or Flyadeal — the official Saudi Press Agency reported. This rule had been suspended until today due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
