Visit Visas can be Extended a week before its Expiry

The General Directorate of Passports called on holders of visit visas of all kinds who are in the Kingdom to abide by the visa controls and extend their validity electronically 7 days before their expiry without the need to visit the passport headquarters.

Visitors’ visas can be renewed online up to one week before they expire.

Note: You can only get your visit visa extended once. An extension of your stay is required; you will need to apply for a new visa.

For people who are visiting Saudi Arabia, this new service is excellent. The business will benefit from more tourists and longer stays because it will be easy for people to get longer visas.
