Saudi Arabia has officially launched a groundbreaking initiative called “Visa by Profile”, allowing eligible Visa cardholders to secure an electronic tourist visa within minutes using just their card and passport details.
The announcement was made by Saudi Tourism Minister Ahmed Al-Khateeb during the TOURISE 25 summit, emphasizing the Kingdom’s drive toward a seamless, tech-driven travel experience. This pioneering initiative was developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Saudi Tourism Authority, and Visa Inc.
What is “Visa by Profile” & How It Works
The system enables eligible Visa cardholders to instantly receive an e-tourist visa simply by verifying their passport and card details.
- This is the world’s first initiative of its kind.
- By integrating financial technology and government systems, the process removes traditional visa friction and enables near-instant issuance of tourist visas.
- According to reports, this system may also use credit-related data to verify financial solvency, helping simplify the visa approval workflow.
- The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia’s broader plan to modernize tourism and make travel simpler, faster, and more accessible.
