Riyadh: The General Directorate of Passports in Saudi Arabia introduced new initiatives to support Umrah pilgrims from Sudan. Saudi Arabian authorities announced visa extension for pilgrims from Sudan. Now they can stay longer in the Kingdom.
The authority also launched a special ‘hosting’ service for this. The service is available on the Ministry of Interior’s online Absher platform. Through this service, citizens and expats can serve as hosts for the Sudanese nationals and get the pilgrims’ Umrah visas converted into ‘family visit visas or personal’.
