According to local media, restrictions on travel to Turkey, Ethiopia, Vietnam, and India have been abolished. The decision was made a week after the Saudi Kingdom abandoned some preventative Covid-19 measures, like as requiring face masks indoors and vaccination documentation to visit the majority of its public spaces.
The Covid-19 travel restrictions on Saudi citizens have been abolished, the interior ministry reported on Monday.
According to Al Arabiya, restrictions on travel to Turkey, Ethiopia, Vietnam, and India have been eased.
The decision was made a week after the Kingdom abandoned some preventive Covid-19 measures, such as requiring vaccination documentation to enter most public areas and requiring indoor face mask use.
Despite the relaxation of Covid-19 regulations, the Ministry of Interior announced last week that places like the Grand Mosque in Mecca, areas under the control of the Saudi Public Health Authority Weqaya, and places and events with their own mask requirements will all still require people to wear masks.
Al Arabiya claimed that the vaccination window for Saudi Arabian nationals planning to travel overseas has also been extended.
The former requirement that travellers receive their third Covid booster dose within three months of their second dose has been changed to an eight-month requirement.
The Kingdom’s limitations on coronosis were eased in March when outdoor mask requirements, social isolation policies, PCR tests for visitors, and quarantine-on-arrival regulations were eliminated.
