Visitors from eligible countries, such as Portugal, will be able to apply online, making it easier than ever to plan a trip to Saudi Arabia this summer. Those who have valid Schengen, UK or US visit visas — or are residents of the European Union, UK or US — will also be eligible to obtain a visa on arrival at Saudi ports of entry.

The simplification of the visa process represents another strategic step in strengthening Saudi Arabia's international appeal as a tourist destination, making it more accessible and efficient for all visitors, including Portuguese visitors, especially in a summer marked by unique cultural events and experiences.

According to “Saudi, Welcome to Arabia”, Saudi Arabia's official tourism brand dedicated to promoting the country as a tourist destination, this initiative is part of the ongoing effort to facilitate access to the country and reinforce its position as a leading global tourist destination.
