Khaberni - The agreement on the mutual exemption from visit visas between Russia and Saudi Arabia comes into effect next Monday, in a step aimed at enhancing joint cooperation and facilitating travel movement between the two countries.
According to the agreement, holders of ordinary passports are allowed to stay for up to 90 days, whether consecutive or separate within one year, provided that the allowed purposes within the scope of the exemption are tourism, business visits, and visiting relatives and friends.
In contrast, the agreement emphasizes that the exemption does not include visas for work, study, or residence, nor does it cover visas for performing Hajj rituals, where obtaining visas for these purposes remains mandatory according to the regulations followed in the two countries.
This step is a fruit of the growing bilateral relations between Moscow and Riyadh, aimed at enhancing tourist and economic exchange, facilitating communication between the peoples, and supporting the movement of businessmen and visitors, within a shared vision to develop prospects for joint cooperation.
