Ministry of Foreign Affairs Launches Electronic Travel Authorization Service for UK Citizens

Riyadh, June (پاکستان پوائنٹ نیوز ‎‎‎ 25 يونيو 2026ء) The ETA allows UK citizens to enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under an electronic travel authorization with multiple entries and to stay for up to 180 days, either consecutively or across multiple visits within one year. The authorization also permits travel to the Kingdom for a range of purposes, including tourism, short-term study, and business. It does not apply to work, residence, or Hajj visas, for which the relevant visa must be obtained.

The service will enter into effect on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, and will be available to holders of all types of UK passports, opening broader prospects for the distinguished partnership between the two countries and their friendly peoples.
