Citizens of India, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Mexico can now apply for a Saudi entry e-visa through Webook.com when booking their travel, following the launch of its Saudi Package Visa service.
The
online service combines a flight, hotel and optional event or experience into a
single application. Visas are typically issued within 24 hours and delivered by
email and through the Webook app.
The
service operates under the Package Visa pilot introduced in July 2026 by Saudi
Arabia’s Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with the Saudi Tourism Authority.
Webook.com
is licensed to sell qualifying packages and submit visa applications for
government verification.
Travellers
from the seven eligible countries who are not covered by Saudi Arabia’s
standard tourist eVisa previously needed to visit an embassy or use a
third-party agent.
The
new service moves the process online, allowing users to select a package,
submit their travel details and await government approval.
Packages
must include a confirmed round-trip flight and a Ministry-licensed hotel rated
four stars or higher, with a minimum package value of SAR 4,000 ($1065.86).
The
visa and health insurance fee is SAR 402.21. Stays can range from two to 90
days, while a single application can cover up to nine adults and five minors.
Bookings must be completed at least 48 hours before departure.
Events
and experiences available through Webook can be added as optional extras.
However, visa issuance remains subject to review and approval by the relevant
authorities.
The
launch builds on Webook’s existing presence in Saudi Arabia’s travel and
entertainment market. The platform sells tickets for major events, including
Roshn Saudi League matches and Riyadh Season, and has offered flights and
hotels since 2023.
Webook
says it has more than 18 million users across over 180 countries and processed
more than 25 million ticket bookings in the past year.
The
Package Visa service adds entry arrangements to its existing travel offering,
creating an integrated booking option for international visitors travelling to
Saudi Arabia.
Nadeem Bakhsh,
Co-Founder & CEO of webook.com said: "Saudi
Arabia is building an events calendar the whole world is meant to attend.
Selling tickets to that calendar was step one. Being licensed to get
international fans through the airport is step two. We will keep taking the
steps that turn a booking platform into the way people reach the Kingdom." -TradeArabia News Service
