Total Cost of the Holiday or Visit:
Do consult the travel agent regarding their refund policy. An unforeseen event may lead to
cancellation of your trip or holiday. If this happens, it always helps if you can get the
money back.
Traveling with Family:
If you are traveling to Saudi Arabia with spouse and children, the travel insurance must
cover them. Therefore, it always helps to be informed before starting your journey and buy
the right travel insurance package.

Dear Embassy, I plan to evacuate my son, Muhammad Aisy Zikry Ilmi (DOB: 24/10/2011, Passport No: A55228281) through Riyadh or Jeddah for his return to Malaysia. However, his passport will expire on 6 May 2026, which makes him ineligible to apply for the Saudi e‑visa. I would like to ask if there is any possibility for him to obtain a visa or special entry permission to enter Saudi Arabia via the Bu Samra border, and then fly home to Malaysia from Riyadh or Jeddah. Please assist us. At this moment, transiting through Saudi Arabia is the only viable evacuation route for my son.
