Saudi Arabia will open its doors to foreign tourists, and lift off the suspension of entry for tourist visa holders, starting from Aug. 1, the Ministry of Tourism said.

 

Fully vaccinated tourists can enter the Kingdom without the need for an institutional quarantine period, provided that an official vaccination certificate is presented upon arrival, and proof of a PCR test with its negative result within 72 hours from the time of departure.


Visitors to the Kingdom are also required to register their vaccination data via the new electronic portal.

 

They are also required to register their data via “Tawakkalna” application, to enter public places.

 

Fully vaccinated people are those who received two vaccination doses of one of the approved vaccines in the Kingdom, which is Pfizer, AstraZeneca or Moderna, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson.
