Visa-free passenger transit depends on individual airline agreements with the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority. In the case of low-cost companies, transit without a Saudi visa is usually not allowed (e.g. connecting in Saudi Arabia from a Wizz Air flight to a flight of another airline to the final destination without a visa is not allowed, passengers are detained at the airport). If the same airline carries a passenger, transit is allowed up to 12 hours.
SOCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
No social security agreement has been concluded.
USEFUL INFORMATION
HEALTH SITUATION – There are no recorded epidemics and therefore no special measures in this regard.
SECURITY SITUATION – Due to tensions in the region, citizens of the Republic of Serbia are advised to be cautious and avoid the border areas with Yemen. Given that public demonstrations are prohibited in Saudi Arabia, gatherings should be avoided. Caution is recommended when leaving a city area and main road routes, due to traffic conditions. Online scams are common. Caution and protection against hacker attacks is necessary. Particularly sophisticated and numerous are frauds in which a person hands over the PIN code sent by SMS from the bank. In such cases, hacker would take over and empty the person's account. It is recommended that you do not transfer the codes sent by the bank to third parties. If you are not sure that the call asking for account information (most often PIN, sometimes also other account information and other personal information) is coming from “the bank", you should go to the nearest branch in person.
