AMMAN — The Saudi embassy in Amman on Wednesday said that all the temporary Jordanian passport holders who had recently been denied entry to Saudi Arabia can now reapply in due course, at the Saudi consulate as of Thursday, December 20.

In the past five months, holders of temporary Jordanian passports were unable to obtain entry visas to the Kingdom. Saudi authorities had barred them temporarily, during the Hajj and umra pilgrimages.

The embassy informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates that entry-visa issuance for holders of temporary Jordanian passports is now resumed, and that all problems were resolved, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
