Saudi Arabian government has announced visa on arrival facility for Pakistani passport holders.
The new multiple entry visa will be valid for one year and travelers can stay up to 90 days in the Middle Eastern state.
Travelers can avail the visa on arrival facility at any international airport in the Saudi Kingdom.
Although travelers with the new visa stamped on their passports will be allowed to perform Umrah, they will not be allowed by the government to perform Hajj.
In order to avail visa on arrival facility, first-time visitors are required to fly on Saudi-based airlines such as Saudi Airlines, Flynas, or Flydeal. After that, travelers can use any other airline to fly to Saudi Arabia.
Travelers will have to pay 440 Saudi Riyals through credit card for availing the visit visa as cash is not accepted.
An immigration officer at the King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah revealed that it only takes about 15 minutes to process a visa on arrival application if the traveler has a valid passport and credit card.
Besides, travelers with a valid US, UK or Schengen visa can also get visa on arrival.

Can u please share the reference ???
It is shared already at the end of the article.
A reservation agent at the Saudi Airlines in Dubai told a media outlet that the new visa service started last month. “Anyone who has a valid UK, US or Schengen visa can obtain visit visa to Saudi Arabia on arrival. However, visa is issued to only those applicants who have used their US, UK or Schengen visa for at least once. You will not be given visa on arrival if you have US, UK or Schegen visa stamped on your passport but have never used it,” she explained.
Wow, a much appreciated move! JazakAllah.
Misguided news. Get your facts correct Haroon Hyder. A website posting this without any credibility means the propakistani is trash
Read the actual news in link then publish it.
It is here ?just read.
Earlier, Saudi Arabia had opened its doors to the world through its new visit 90-day visa introduced in September last year for more than 50 countries. They are also given one-year multiple visit visa and they have to apply online. Pakistan, India and many other countries are not included in this list.
The tourist e-Visa (which is different from visa on arrival) allows travellers to enter the country for leisure purposes and it enables them to stay in Saudi Arabia for up to 90 days.
The source you are referring to says that Pakistani should have valid UK/Schengen visa. How can someone ignore that while writing a article? The article is totally misleading.
+ they have visited to UK/USA/Schengen at-least once.
Check seems wrong post inaccurate
Terms and conditions…?????
They only want their airlines, another way of stopping Pakistanis to use PIA. Cheap tactics.
Do you have any authentic source for this news ?

I availed this facility recently. There are 3 conditions to get the visa.
1. U have a valid schengen, UK or USA visa.
2. The UK, USA or schengen visa must be multiple entry visa.
3. You have already made one visit to UK, USA or schengen country using this visa.
Yes it took 440 SR and less than 15 minutes to get visa.

Please note that my information is now 3 months old and of pre COVID scenario. I am not sure if the same policies still hold (or not).
You can not get Saudi visa online. You can get it at one of the airports in Saudia. You have to purchase tickets with 6-12 hours stopover time in Saudia. When you reach there, you can get the visa on airport. Also note that having multiple entry US visa is not the only requirement. The US visa must be valid, and you must have traveled to US on the same visa.
Salam. Plz reply me that can visa holder travel with any other international airline?
Please note that my information is now 3 months old and of pre COVID scenario. I am not sure if the same policies still hold (or not).
As far as I know you can travel with any airline. You must have the return ticket and your stay in Saudia should be between 6 and 12 hours.
Does it work for US Green Card holdrers?

Looking to perform Umra along with my wife in April. I have lived and worked in Saudia for 10years in past, now retired. Kinfly confirm if visa on arrival can be possible if I can pay the visa fee by my credit card.
