A short transit route through the Enjaz platform
The Saudi National Portal describes an electronic transit-visa service that can be obtained without visiting the authority and is available to applicants of any nationality through the Enjaz E-Service Visa Platform.
The portal describes short transit stays not exceeding 12 hours and lists transit periods of 48 and 96 hours. Confirm the live service terms because transit eligibility and timing are route-specific.
