Saudi Arabia has suspended the issuance of one-year multiple-entry visas for business, tourism, and family visits for nationals of Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sudan, Tunisia, and Yemen. Affected nationals are still eligible to apply for a single-entry visa, however, based on experience, processing times for single-entry visas may be longer, and in some cases, applications may be rejected, especially during the Hajj season.
