Muslim fans with tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2022 will be eligible for a free visa to perform Umrah, as per an announcement by Saudi Arabia.
Authorities have said that the visa for Hayya card holders is free, with the state incurring all e-visa expenses.
But it is mandatory to get medical insurance from the visa platform, the Saudi Gazette reported, quoting Khaled Al-Shammari, assistant director-general of the general department of visas at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
A Hayya card (fan ID) is a personalized document that is issued and required by every single person attending any of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 matches.
