Saudi Arabia introduces a “Package Visa” service designed to make entry procedures simpler for inbound travellers. Saudi’s tourism ministry says the initiative is piloted to let visitors secure, in one integrated booking process, key travel components including a visa along with flights and accommodation. Rather than arranging travel documents and logistics separately, travellers can complete their visa issuance and travel plans through a single workflow.
Saudi Minister of Tourism Ahmed Al Khateeb describes the programme as part of broader efforts to improve accessibility and create a more connected travel experience. The ministry links the move to continued growth in Saudi’s tourism sector and highlights cooperation across the wider tourism ecosystem.
The announcement also places “Package Visa” alongside other measures Saudi has adopted to attract international visitors, including visa-on-arrival and a stopover transit visa. The sources report that Saudi received more than 29 million inbound visitors in 2025. The coverage indicates the service is launched as a pilot, with details framed around streamlining the visitor journey by tying visa processing to travel bookings.
