Saudi has introduced Package Visa, a new digital initiative designed to simplify travel planning by combining the Saudi tourist visa application with curated travel bookings. The service is being rolled out through qualified travel and tourism providers in selected international markets before expanding globally.

The new initiative is part of Saudi’s ongoing efforts to make visiting the Kingdom more convenient while supporting the country’s rapidly growing tourism industry.

A Simpler Way to Travel to Saudi Arabia

Over the past few years, Saudi has introduced several measures to improve accessibility for international visitors. Following the launch of the Saudi tourist e-Visa, the country expanded its visa options with Visa on Arrival and the Stopover Transit Visa, giving travelers greater flexibility when planning a trip.

These initiatives have contributed significantly to Saudi’s tourism growth, with the country welcoming more than 29 million inbound visitors in 2025, reflecting its growing appeal as a global travel destination.

Commenting on the initiative, His Excellency Ahmed Al Khateeb, Saudi Minister of Tourism, said, “As Saudi’s tourism sector continues to grow at pace, Package Visa reflects our commitment to making travel to Saudi more seamless for visitors. By integrating visa issuance with travel bookings, we are simplifying the visitor journey and creating a more connected travel experience. This initiative also strengthens collaboration across the tourism ecosystem and supports Saudi’s position as an increasingly accessible global destination.”

One Booking Process for Visa and Travel

With Package Visa, eligible travelers can now complete more of their travel planning in a single booking process. Instead of arranging flights, accommodation and a tourist visa separately, visitors can book everything through participating travel providers. They can also include experiences, attractions and activities as part of their itinerary, making the planning process faster and more convenient.

The integrated approach reduces the number of steps involved in preparing for a trip, allowing travelers to move from booking to arrival with greater ease.

Benefits for Travelers and Travel Partners

The initiative also creates new opportunities for qualified travel and tourism providers. By offering integrated travel packages that include visa processing, accommodation, flights and tourism experiences, providers can deliver greater value to customers while encouraging visitors to stay longer and explore more of Saudi’s diverse destinations.

To maintain high service standards, Package Visa is available only through approved travel and tourism providers that meet defined quality requirements and offer 24/7 customer support, ensuring assistance throughout the travel journey.

Supporting Saudi’s Growing Tourism Vision

The launch of Package Visa represents another milestone in Saudi’s strategy to make the country easier to visit for international travelers. By connecting visa applications with travel bookings, the initiative simplifies the visitor experience while strengthening collaboration across the tourism sector.

As Saudi continues expanding its tourism offerings and welcoming millions of visitors each year, Package Visa is expected to make planning a trip to the Kingdom more convenient, connected and accessible than ever before.
