Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah clarified the benefits of its Personal Visit Visa, which allows Saudi citizens to invite their friends (non-family and non-business related) to perform Umrah pilgrimage.
Personal visit visas have the following advantages:
* Multiple applications can be submitted simultaneously for several guests.
* It is possible to enter the Kingdom more than once (Multiple entry) or only once (Single entry)
* The issuance of a personal visit visa for one or more trips.
* Permitting Umrah pilgrimage and visiting Prophet's Mosque, religious sites, and historical monuments
* Saudi Arabian tourist trips to all regions and cities.
A single entry personal visit visa is valid for 90 days, with a 90 day stay, whereas a multiple entry visa is valid for 365 days, with a 90 day stay per trip.
Saudi nationals can apply for Personal Visit Visa for their abroad friends through MOFA website.
