UAE residents can now be invited by friends that are citizens of Saudi Arabia, to perform Umrah, through the new personal visit visa.
There are two visa options available, single entry and multiple entry visas. The single-entry visa is valid for 90 days, for a duration of the same time period, and the multi-entry visa is valid for a year, for a stay duration of 90 days.
By applying for one of the two visa models, individuals can perform Umrah at the mosque in Mecca, as well as visit historical sites and cultural destinations in Saudi Arabia.
