Saudi Arabia is set to implement a new initiative to replace visa stickers with electronic visas and QR codes, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The move is part of the Ministry's efforts to enhance the quality of consular services and automate visa procedures, including granting work, residence, and visit visas.
The new initiative will be launched in seven countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Egypt, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The electronic visa with a QR code will allow beneficiaries to easily access and read their visa information.
This initiative represents a significant step forward in the Ministry's drive to modernize and streamline its consular services, making it easier and more convenient for travelers to enter Saudi Arabia. By leveraging the latest digital technologies, Saudi Arabia is positioning itself as a leader in the field of consular services and improving its competitiveness in the global tourism market.
