IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? The Saudi government has placed restrictions on travel from additional countries to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
What does the change mean? Nationals of Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates will not be permitted to enter Saudi Arabia. Other foreign nationals who have been in any of these countries or Italy or South Korea in the past 14 days will not be permitted to enter Saudi Arabia. Air and sea travel between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Iraq, Italy, Lebanon, South Korea, and Syria has been suspended.
