    Land in Saudi, get a visa on arrival

    Saudi Arabia is introducing a one-year multiple-entry visit visa for Pakistanis who have a valid UK, US or Schengen visa on their passports, reports The News. The visa will also be applicable for Umra but not for Hajj. There’s a catch though. The visa can only be issued to a credit card holder. When you land at any international airport in Saudi, a visa charge of Rs.18,000 will be charged to your card: cash is not accepted.
