Forum Question Posted By: Replies:
Riyadh Entering Riyadh for business as an unaccompanied female
Posted: Fri July 25, 2008 02:39 PM UTC
Sorry about the double posting, as a newcomer I have taken the wrong turn in posting my query... will work on my skills.

I have been asked to hold a training course for the employees of a multinational IT company in Riyadh later this year.
I am wondering: Is it possibile for me to enter SA as an unaccompanied female for 3 days? If yes, what do I need to do to get an entry permit? And what do I need to pay attention to once in the country?

Thank you all in advance for your replies.

You haven't said what nationality you are or on what Passport you travel- could make a difference.
Have you asked the Company Training Officer about entry formalities -they probably employ other consultants from time to time?

Or get advice from your and the Saudi Arabia Embassies - nothing like getting it from the horses mouth!

I can travel either on a German or an Italian passport.

Embassy, good idea. I will call them next week.

Thanks a lot
