IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Saudi Arabia has lifted a ban on Swedish business travelers. What does the change mean? Swedish nationals can once again apply for business and work visas to Saudi Arabia.
Background: In the midst of a diplomatic dispute, Saudi Arabia suspended issuance of business and work visas to Swedish nationals in March. The move came after Sweden ended a defense agreement with the Kingdom. Riyadh responded by recalling its ambassador and instituting the travel ban. The ban was recently lifted.
BAL Analysis: The change is good news for companies employing Swedish personnel. Swedish nationals are eligible to apply for and obtain business and work visas immediately.
