Saudi Arabia has introduced an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system to simplify the visa process for visitors. The new system, launched today, allows eligible tourists to obtain travel authorization quickly and easily online. The ETA is available for citizens of 57 countries and aims to boost tourism by removing previous logistical hurdles. Visitors can apply through a dedicated online portal and receive a decision within 24 hours. The authorization is valid for one year, allowing multiple entries for tourism purposes, with a maximum stay of 90 days per visit. This initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader Vision 2030 plan to diversify its economy and attract international visitors.
