US Visa resumed immigrant visa and nonimmigrant visa processing for all categories.

Visa Operations: The United States Mission to Saudi Arabia has resumed immigrant visa and nonimmigrant visa processing for all categories. Travelers can schedule appointments for the range of visa categories on-line. While the Embassy and Consulates General aim to process cases as soon as practicable, backlogs developed during the COVID pandemic and limited capacity due to COVID-19 mitigation measures will result in longer wait times for appointments. If you have an urgent matter and need to travel immediately, please follow the guidance provided at http://www.ustraveldocs.com/sa to request an emergency appointment.

Fee Payment Extension: We understand that many nonimmigrant visa applicants paid a visa application fee (known as the MRV fee) and are still waiting to schedule a visa interview. The U.S. Mission will extend the validity of this MRV fee until September 30, 2023, to allow all applicants who were unable to schedule an appointment as a result of the suspension of routine visa services an opportunity to schedule an appointment with the already paid fee.

The Consular Sections of the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh and the Consulate Generals in Jeddah and Dhahran are responsible for providing visa services to those seeking to enter the United States for a temporary period and for those wishing to take up indefinite or permanent residence in the United States.

Saudi Arabia, UAE confirm first omicron COVID-19 cases

A Saudi passenger arriving in the Kingdom is isolating after testing positive for the omicron COVID-19 variant

Woman arriving in the UAE from African country through Arab state also tests positive for new COVID-19 variant

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia and the UAE confirmed on Wednesday their first cases of the COVID-19 omicron variant.

A passenger coming from a north African country was identified as the Kingdom's first case while Emirates News Agency said that a woman arriving in the UAE from an African country through an Arab state was the country's first case.

The woman is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and is isolating, WAM reported. People she has been in contact with are also isolating and she is not exibiting any symptoms.

Saudi Press Agency said that the Kingdom's first case was detected in a Saudi passenger and that he was isolating along with those who had been in contact with him.

“An epidemiological investigation has started and the case was sent to quarantine, where accredited health procedures were followed,” SPA said.

A health official from Saudi Arabia’s health ministry has called on people to get both doses of a COVID-19 jab and for travelers to adhere to quarantine and testing protocols upon their arrival.

The spread of the latest variant comes as Saudi Arabia’s ban on direct travel from several countries ended, with the Kingdom continuing to relax pandemic-related travel restrictions.

Travelers from six countries — India, Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, Brazil and Vietnam — can now arrive in the Kingdom without having to spend 14 days outside those countries before entering Saudi Arabia.
