Riyadh Embassy instructs Indians seeking to cross into Saudi Arabia through other countries

 Special directive from the Indian Embassy in Riyadh to Indians intending to travel to Saudi Arabia through countries where Saudi entry is not prohibited.

Apart from India, the embassy has initially called for an end to attempts to enter Saudi Arabia through 19 other countries that have banned Saudi entry.

The embassy also reminded Indians coming to Saudi Arabia from other non-prohibited countries to follow the corona defense precautions in those countries as well as the precautionary measures after arrival in Saudi Arabia.

Many Saudi expats are now looking for ways to enter Saudi Arabia through other countries where access via Dubai is temporarily closed.

At the same time, many are reluctant to experiment with the list of countries that will be banned.
