Default KSA quarantine exemption

Dear all,

I will be travelling to KSA from Qatar soon, and the travel agent says I may need to book for a quarantine, knowing that I had 2 doses of Pfizer back in March.

Am I exempt from quarantine in KSA and Is there a website or any official information explaining whether or not I am exempt?



Thanks
W.Scott

Rules change frequently. Go to the Saudia website for up to date info, or call them.

You should be exempt from quarantine on arrival, if you complete the following form before you enter KSA: https://muqeem.sa/#/vaccine-registration/home
Bring paper copies of you vaccine certificates, just in case.
You will need a PCR test before you travel.

Thanks so much. The issue is the travel agent and the HR need to issue the ticket and want to make sure I wont be denied boarding the plane without booked quarantine.

The quarantine rules are explained here: https://gaca.gov.sa/scs/Satellite?c=...inkDocument_PT

Qatar isn't on the KSA banned country list, so you can fly into KSA as long as you have a valid PCR test result. Once you land, your vacination status will be determined and a decision made whether you need to quarantine or are free to go. It's all a bit random, but that's just how things are at present.
