Jeddah: Saudi citizens intending to visit Russia no longer need to approach the embassy to obtain an entry visa. E-Visa can be obtained through a unified electronic platform. Not only that, the procedures have also been simplified. In December last year, Russia announced that it would exempt Saudi Arabia from the current visa regime.
Apart from Saudi Arabia, 11 countries including Gulf countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman will be exempted from visa requirements. The US Secretary of State and other representatives have visited Saudi Arabia in recent months amid warming Russian-Saudi relations.
The visit of the US delegation came in the context of warming Saudi relations with Asian countries. Behind this is the announcement of granting e-visa to Russia for those currently in Saudi Arabia. Russia and Saudi Arabia have strengthened cooperation in various fields, including defense.
