SAUDI ARABIA VISA FEE: NATIONALITY WISE

As you know Saudi Arabia make considerable changes in Visa few in few months ago the increase in visa fee shocks many expatriates living in Saudi Arabia as well as those were willing to travel to Saudi Arabia for work purpose. Also expatriates who want to bring their family on Saudi Visit visa also consider these fee very that they were now unable to bring their family in Saudi Arabia.

But when you visit official website of the fee is really disturbing for South Asian expatriates as the fee is less for those area of world which were already rich such as the fee for UK citizens is far less than fee for nationalities of India and Pakistan.

Saudi Arabia relies on oil and due to lesser prices of oil there is down time of Saudi Economy which make Saudi Arabia to boost non-oil income these visa fee hike is also part of it. I hope that when Saudi Arabia economy get stable Saudi gov may make the fee less. We must have to pray for our holiest place

Let find out what were the fee of visa for Pakistan India Bangladesh and other countries of the world.

Saudi-Arabia-Visa-Fee-for-Pakistan-India-and-other-countries.

Health Insurance Fee is Mandatory With Visa

Visa Fee for 26 Schengen Countries:

The Schengen countries includes 26 European countries yet they were very rich and have high HDI, most of their visitors for Saudi Arabia are tourists so this means they were here in Saudi Arabia to spend money, not like workers who were here to earn money and send it back to their native country. These countries includes:
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
