Saudi Arabia will allow passengers from India, Pakistan and four other countries from December 1 to visit the Kingdom without the need for quarantine of 14 days outside their countries.
Passengers from Brazil, Vietnam, Egypt and Indonesia will also be allowed to enter the Kingdom directly from the coming month.
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior issued directives to allow direct entry for fully vaccinated expatriates from these countries.
However, they must spend five days in quarantine regardless of their vaccination status outside the Kingdom, MOI said, as quoted by local newspapers.
The MOI explained that all procedures and measures are subject to continuous evaluation by the Kingdom’s health authorities.
The ministry added that expatriates hoping to return to the Kingdom should undergo all health measures to ensure they are free from infection.
