The new regulations target travellers from Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sudan, Tunisia and Yemen.

The changes from Saudi apply to tourists, business travellers and those visiting family members while excluding applicants for Hajj, Umrah, diplomatic or residency visas.

Saudi officials clarified that multiple-entry visas were being misused, and that some travellers entered the country on long-term visas but remained illegally for work or performed Hajj without proper authorisation.
