Travellers Going To Saudi Arabia To Register Vaccination Status Online

Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) in a circular asked all airlines to ensure that all international travellers arriving in Saudi Arabia have registered their vaccination status online before departure.

الهيئة العامة لـ #الطيران_المدني تُصدر تعميماً لشركات الطيران بأهمية التأكد من إكمال تسجيل بيانات التحصين للمسافرين القادمين للمملكة قبل المغادرة، عبر الرابط https://t.co/dNmgbbqk1h

In the circular, the aviation regulator said the online registration link: registration of arrival can be done by visiting (muqeem.sa) and it will help in speeding up immigration processes and reducing the waiting time of passengers at the ports of entry. 

Registration is available only to people who have completed dosing for the following approved vaccines:

• Two doses for the Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Moderna.
• One dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
• Presenting proof for vaccination on arrival.

Those who are planning to travel to Saudi Arabia from India may note that Saudi authorities have recognized the similarity of the Covidshield vaccine in India to the Astra Zeneca vaccine that has been approved by Saudi Arabia.

The report said that for Saudi citizens and residents, the 'immune' status shown on the Tawakkalna app, either with the first dose or both and those who have recovered from the virus for a period of more than six months, is sufficient.
