By Divi S.

DUBAI 14 January 2019: Foreign nationals who are not residents of the United Arab Emirates can no longer apply for visas to Saudi Arabia through the Saudi visa application centre in Dubai.

Although no official announcement has been made, this information was conveyed to immigration specialist firm, Fragomen, verbally by a representative of the Saudi visa application centre in Dubai – VFS Tasheel International.

Previously, foreign nationals applying for Saudi visas could do so through the Saudi visa application centre in Dubai even if they were not residents in the UAE, said Fragomen.
