RIYADH, 03 June 2022, (TON): The UK’s electronic visa waiver scheme is now available to Saudi citizens, Britain’s top envoy to the Kingdom said adding that the initiative would help to deepen economic and diplomatic ties between the two countries.
British Ambassador Neil Crompton told media “Saudi nationals can now apply to travel to the UK for tourism, business, study or medical treatment for up to six months using the system.”
“This is a wonderful moment which will strengthen ties between the two countries.”
The envoy said “the change to the UK visa system took effect on Thursday and is open to all Saudi citizens. The online process is quick, very straightforward not expensive.”
He added “it’s a big improvement in our service, which is consistent with the desire of both our governments to improve the bilateral relationship, and in particular to increase the people-to-people links between our two countries.”
