Saudi Arabia launched the second phase for issuing electronic business visit visas in continued efforts to boost foreign investments in the country.

The second phase of the electronic “visiting investor” visas will cover the rest of the countries of the world, not included in the earlier list, Arabia Business reported.

The Undersecretary of the Saudi Ministry of Investment for Integrated Investor Services, Muhammad Aba Hussein, said foreign investors and employees of foreign establishments can apply for an electronic visit visa through the platform affiliated with the Ministry of Investment “Invest in Saudi Arabia”.

The visa will be issued digitally from the unified national platform for visas affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

The visa can be used for a period of up to a year, with multiple entry options.

A number of beneficiaries can obtain the visa immediately for the purpose of visiting the kingdom and reviewing investment opportunities, the Saudi official said.

The official said the new phase is launched in joint cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the aim of providing appropriate services with added value to investors.
