Additional doc needed for Saudi visa

SAUDI Arabia has updated the
documentation required for
travellers applying for visas.
All travellers applying for family
visit and business visas must obtain
a Council of Cooperative Health
Insurance-approved Medical Insurance
Certificate from a VFS TasHeel Visa
Application Centre, says a notification
on the VFS TasHeel website.
The visa company will provide the
certificate during the application
process at the appointment. VFS
TasHeel told TNW the cost varied and
depended on the visa category and age
of the applicant. The new document
requirement was instituted in August
last year. VFS TasHeel is the only
approved application office for Saudi
Arabian visas in South Africa.
