The Saudi Passport Department has said that "Saudi citizens cannot travel to 15 countries, including India."
The Passport Department responded to a query from a local citizen on its Twitter account, saying "Saudis were banned from traveling to 15 countries due to the Corona epidemic."
These include Turkey, India, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Armenia, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Democratic Congo, Libya, Belarus, Vietnam, Somalia and Venezuela.
It may be recalled that Saudi Arabia has abolished Corona SOPs from March 5. The ban on PCR tests, house isolation and hotel quarantine has also been lifted.
The passport department says "those coming to Saudi Arabia on a variety of visit visas are required to obtain medical insurance for the duration of their stay in the kingdom, including treatment for corona."
