Saudi Arabia introduces all-in-one travel package with visa, flights and hotels
Saudi Arabia has introduced a new Package Visa that lets eligible travellers book flights, hotels and their e-visa through one platform, making travel planning faster and more convenient.
Planning a trip to Saudi Arabia could soon become much simpler. The country has launched a new Package Visa, a digital service that allows eligible travellers to book flights, hotel stays and apply for a tourist e-visa through a single booking.
Visitors can also include sightseeing tours, cultural events and other travel experiences as part of the same package.
The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia's wider effort to attract more international tourists and make the travel process smoother under its Vision 2030 tourism plan.
WHAT IS THE PACKAGE VISA?
The Package Visa combines several travel services into one booking. Instead of arranging flights, accommodation and visa applications separately, travellers can complete the entire process through approved travel and tourism providers.
The service is fully digital, making it easier to plan a holiday while reducing paperwork and separate bookings.
WHAT DOES THE PACKAGE INCLUDE?
Depending on the travel package, visitors can book:
- Return flights
- Hotel accommodation
- Tourist e-visa processing
- Guided tours and travel experiences
- Cultural events and activities
Everything is managed through a single booking, giving travellers a more organised and convenient planning experience.
WHO CAN APPLY?
The Package Visa is currently being introduced in selected international markets, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Jordan, Egypt and Mexico.
It is available to travellers who are eligible under Saudi Arabia's tourist visa programme and must be booked through authorised travel providers that meet the country's service standards. A wider rollout is expected later.

WHY HAS SAUDI ARABIA INTRODUCED IT?
Saudi Arabia is working to grow its tourism sector by making travel easier for international visitors.
The new Package Visa supports this goal by offering a simple, connected booking process instead of requiring travellers to complete multiple steps on different platforms.
Officials say the initiative is designed to improve the visitor experience while helping Saudi Arabia become a leading global tourism destination.
