FLIGHT BAN IMPOSED BY SAUDI ARABIA ON INDIAN, EGYPTIAN AND PAKISTANI CITIZENS HAS BEEN LIFTED

  • 01/12/2021

Riyadh: Saudi Arabia lifted its ban on direct flights from a number of countries on Wednesday, as the country continues to ease travel restrictions imposed by the pandemic. Travelers from six countries — India, Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, Brazil, and Vietnam — can now enter Saudi Arabia without having to spend 14 days outside those countries first. The passengers must have a valid PCR certificate and must register on the Qdoom platform 72 hours before their flight.


They will also be subjected to institutional quarantine for five days upon arrival, regardless of their immunisation status outside the Kingdom, and will be subjected to tests on the first and fifth days of their quarantine.

Though Saudi Arabia has relaxed travel restrictions from some destinations, it has been forced to impose new restrictions on some African countries following the discovery of a concerning new coronavirus variant, omicron, in South Africa last week.
