Saudi Arabia has reduced visit visa fees for Pakistani nationals from $533 (AED 1,945) to $90 (AED 328).

In a press statement, the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Islamabad announced that the fee for multiple-entry visit visa has also been slashed from $800 (AED 2,938) to $180 (AED 661) effective February 15.

This comes ahead of the first official state visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Pakistan on Sunday.

Last December, Pakistan had also slashed the visit visa fees for Saudi nationals.
