Saudi Arabia has decided to issue only single-entry visas for tourism, business, and family visits. The country has indefinitely suspended multiple-entry visas, which were valid for one year. This decision came into effect on February 1.

Officials stated that some visitors on long-term visas were engaging in illegal employment and performing Hajj without proper permits. Due to these violations, the government has temporarily suspended multiple-entry visas.However, single-entry visas will remain valid for only 30 days. There are no changes to Hajj, Umrah, or residency visas.
