Saudi Transit Visa
I've read several threads on this and believe I have the correct information but want to clarify this.
- A Saudi TV is ONLY necessary for stays of 18-72 hours, however, it is REQUIRED for stays of this duration.
- If I book a flight on SV with a 20 hour layover in Riyadh and an itinerary with a shorter layover exists my TV will be denied.
- If my TV is for some miraculous reason granted, I will only be able to go to the hotel and back to the airport.
I would *very much* like to see a bit of the city but as a non-Muslim American I think the chances of this are slim without a business Visa.
