Saudi Arabia launched today, Dec. 19, the unified national visa platform (KSA VISA) to facilitate visa application procedures. 

During the Digital Government Forum (DGF), Assistant Minister for Executive Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abdulhadi Almansouri, stated that this platform is linked to more than 30 agencies, ministries, and the private sector, to facilitate procedures for obtaining various types of visas, including Hajj visas, visits for Umrah, tourism, or work. 

GOV.SA will contribute to empowering more than 50 government agencies and private sectors through government visas and will automate the most important visa issuance procedures to improve the visitor experience. 

GOV.SA is a smart search engine that lets visitors know the available visas quickly. It is a unified reference for understanding the requirements for all types of visas and how to apply for them.  

The platform also includes an updated personal file for the visitor that facilitates visas and re-application for them later.
