Nearly three million pilgrims travel to Makkah for Hajj every year. As a result, the Saudi Aviation Authority applies restrictions to guests (Muslims and non-Muslims) holding a visit or seasonal work visa during the Hajj season from 10 Dhu Alqedah 1439H (July 23, 2018) to 10 Dhu Alhijja 1439H (August 21, 2018).
KAUST Government Affairs has been working with the Saudi Aviation Authority to grant a special exemption for KAUST visitors to fly into King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.
In order to facilitate smooth passage overseas check in, as well as immigration in Jeddah, please submit this form to Government Affairs before Tuesday, July 10. This will ensure sufficient time for the information to be passed on to the relevant government officials.
NOTE: We will not be able to process requests received after Tuesday, July 10.
My son is traveling to KAUST on July 19 or 20. Do I need to complete this form on his behalf in preparation for his visit? If so, do I provide my information on the form or do I provide his information regarding flight #, passport #, etc?
