Domestic Travel Restrictions<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
Easing of Restrictions on Previously Banned Countries<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
