Saudi Arabia
On Thursday, Saudi Arabia announced that it had replaced visa stickers with e-visas for its missions in seven countries, including the UAE, India, and the Philippines.
A QR code is used instead of a sticker that is usually placed on passports to read the information, according to the Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to the ministry, the system has been installed in Saudi Arabia's missions in the UAE, India, Jordan, Egypt, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and the Philippines since May 1.
Saudi Gazette reports that the move is part of efforts to automate consular services and "develop a mechanism for granting different kinds of visas, including work, residency, and visit visas".
