The Embassy of India in Kuwait has announced the discontinuation of facilitation for Saudi transit visas for Indian nationals in Kuwait, with immediate effect from April 15, 2026, due to the upcoming Hajj season in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The embassy stated that the transit visa process, which was previously routed through its office in Kuwait, will no longer be available under the existing arrangement.

Accordingly, Indian nationals intending to travel via Saudi Arabia have been advised to directly consult their respective airlines for the latest immigration requirements, transit procedures, and visa-related formalities prior to making any travel arrangements.

The embassy further clarified that it will not be accepting or processing any further requests for Saudi transit visas until further notice.
