The Saudi Tourism Authority has launched operations of a “package visa” that directly integrates tourist visa applications into travel bookings.
Previously, flights, accommodation, and visas had to be arranged separately. With the package visa, eligible travelers can now make integrated bookings with the option to add events, activities, and sightseeing experiences. It is offered only through qualified travel service providers that meet certain conditions, such as providing 24/7 year-round customer support.
Minister of Tourism Ahmed Al-Khateeb commented, “The package visa reflects our country’s commitment to making travel to Saudi Arabia more convenient. By integrating visa issuance with travel bookings, we simplify visitors’ journeys and deliver a more connected travel experience.”
The package visa follows other measures introduced to simplify visits to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, such as electronic visas (e-visas), visas on arrival, and transit visas. More than 29 million tourists visited Saudi Arabia in 2025.
