Saudi Arabia restricts travel from 3 African nations over Ebola
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced a suspension of travel and entry for arrivals from three African countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan. This measure is taken as a precautionary step to combat the Ebola virus. The procedures include halting the issuance of all types of visas, including for those arriving through other countries who have spent more than 21 days in these nations prior to their arrival. This move follows an assessment of the epidemiological situation and an analysis of the preventive measures that have been implemented since July 2019, with further enhancements made in May 2026, to ensure the protection of public health for citizens, residents, and visitors, and to reduce the risk of virus transmission.
