Saudi Arabia has decided to allow travellers from United Arab Emirates (UAE), South Africa and Argentina with effect from September 08, 2021.

The Interior Ministry said on Tuesday that it had decided to lift the suspension of entry into the kingdom from these countries via land, sea and airports, which would also allow Saudi citizens to enter these countries.

The decision comes on the basis of reports submitted by the competent health authorities regarding the stable coronavirus pandemic situation in these countries.

According to the source, in accordance with the development of the epidemiological situation in the world, all procedures and measures are subject to continuous evaluation by the competent health authorities in the state.
