An agreement on the mutual cancellation of entry visas has been concluded between Russia and Saudi Arabia.
The visa-free regime is expected to enter into force no earlier than March 2026. It will allow Russians to stay in Saudi Arabia without a visa for up to 90 days.
According to ATOR's forecasts, the introduction of visa-free travel may lead to a 2-3-fold increase in the tourist flow from Russia to Saudi Arabia. An increase in flights between the two countries will also contribute to this. New flights from Sochi and St. Petersburg are expected.
