Hi y'all!

Some of our family members will be arriving to Doha next month. We are planning to drive to Dubai and Oman through Saudi. We were told to apply for a Saudi Transit Visa.

We would like to know if visitors on visiting Visa would be able to apply for the transit visa and follow us for the road trip?

Appreciate any information at this point.

Thanks,
Ray

Thanks guys. Appreciate this. I guess the sensible thing to do is get an agent to sort out the queries and paper work.

Regards,

R.

If they are on visa once they leave Qatar the visa is void (single entry). I dont think Pakistanis can get visa on arrival in either Qatar or the U.A.E.

Also, for crossing the Saudi border all people in the car should be close relatives (woman accompanied by a muharram). I am not sure how it would go if you had a cousin or siblings wife in the car with you and the ladies must be covered. Check that as well, if you dont ask in the embassy you may be denied entry.

I doubt about the family members on visit visa can travel to UAE. If they hold certain passport, there is a possibility.

Anyways, as posted earlier, go to appointed agents for Saudi transit visa and those guys will be able to answer you.

Yes you need to get transit visa for every traveller also need to register your car. these can be done through certain agent apointed by the Saudi embassy,there is one at sana round about facing the Giant store called ASAYEL, you cannot apply for visa directly to the embassy. submit your papers at least one week ahead of your travel date. UAE will issues visa on the border. Your trip will be around one hour in QATAR nd other one hour to reached UAE border and about 400KM to Abu Dhabi.
