Saudi Arabia has temporarily halted the issuance of work and Umrah visas for citizens of 14 countries, including Bangladesh, from May 31 to June 30. The move also includes restrictions on family visit visas. This decision aims to ensure smooth Hajj operations and pilgrim departures. Those who obtained visas before May 31 but haven't yet traveled may also face entry issues. Affected countries include India, Pakistan, Egypt, and Indonesia—nations with the highest number of visa applicants to Saudi Arabia.
