Domestic Travel Restrictions

Effective September 1, 2021, only fully vaccinated passengers, with an approved COVID-19 vaccine, will be allowed to travel on domestic flights in Saudi Arabia. This rule does not apply to children under the age of 12 years old or individuals who are exempt from COVID-19 vaccination due to health reasons documented by the Ministry of Health.

Easing of Restrictions on Previously Banned Countries

Residents with a valid residency permit (iqama) who have completed both doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine in Saudi Arabia before leaving to one of the banned countries (India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Brazil, Afghanistan, and Lebanon) are allowed to re-enter Saudi Arabia directly. A negative PCR test (within 72 hours of entry) is still required, along with proof of vaccinations through Tawakkalna and Muqeem.
