Weather of Arabia - Saudi Arabia announced that it will grant multiple-entry visas to all holders of the "Haya" card for fans of the World Cup in football scheduled for the end of the year in neighboring Qatar, in an effort to attract them to visit it and revive the tourism and hospitality sectors in the Kingdom.

 

The World Cup finals will be held at the end of this year from November 20 to December 18 , for the first time in the Arab world and the Middle East.

 

And the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Wednesday evening that the Kingdom "will allow holders of a Haya fan card to enter the kingdom ten days before the start of the World Cup, after obtaining an electronic visa." She explained that "holders of an entry visa can reside in the Kingdom for a period of 60 days ," noting that it allows "entry into and out of the Kingdom several times during the validity period of the visa."

 

 

Qatar expects 1.2 million people to visit the small Gulf state during the World Cup period, and many fans have expressed concerns about the limited availability of accommodation and travel. With increasing pressure on Qatar to find housing and rooms for hundreds of thousands of fans, Saudi and Kuwaiti airlines, "Fly Dubai" and Oman Air will operate more than 160 daily flights, starting from November 20, to go and return within 24 hours from and to Doha to follow the matches.

 

The Gulf states agreed to facilitate administrative procedures for fans who will pass in their countries. Dubai Airport is preparing to put in place travel procedures that will "make travel much easier" between the Emirates and Qatar.

 

Saudi Arabia is participating in Group C in the World Cup, along with Argentina, Mexico and Poland. It is expected that large numbers of Saudis will flock to encourage "Al-Akhdar" during its sixth participation in the competition.
