Can I travel to Saudi Arabia by Travel document and Permeant resident

Don’t believe KSA issues visas for ppl with RTDs anymore and used to be just for umrah although you can certainly try.

I am an Egyptian living in Canada, and I have PR as well as a Travel Document. I also have an entry permit to Saudi Arabia from a company there, and I am going to Saudi Arabia for a visit. Does the Travel Document allow me to enter Saudi Arabia? I contacted the embassy, and they told me they don't know!

Normally know but unclear if this is business related there may be exceptions. This is a highly unusual situation. Ask the embassy to contact their government immigration department to clarify. I would attach your business invitation letter, detailed purpose of travel and itinerary.

Hi .. as per my information from other members posts, Qatar and UAE are not issuing visa for RTD holders.. !! How did you get this information?

Google search may give a general overview, but for accurate and up-to-date information, especially when you're traveling on a Canadian Refugee Travel Document, it's essential to contact each country’s embassy or consulate directly by email. This is because:

1. Entry requirements vary widely depending on your travel document, not just your residence.
2. Many embassies have specific rules for Refugee Travel Document holders, which may not be publicly listed online.
3. The type of visa (tourist, religious pilgrimage, etc.) also affects the process.
4. Some embassies may not accept Refugee Travel Documents at all, or only under certain conditions.

With RTD. it was okay then the changed the law (2023) so you have to call me to get an update. cuz they have stopped accepting it a while ago. a call won't hurt. maybe now they accept RTD. Goodluck.
