Require Vaccine for Business Visa Holder

As far as I know, you can only get the vaccine if you have an Iqama.  MOH clarified the same in multiple tweets last week.

Good Morning & Greetings from Khobar. I am facing the same issue here, I even wrote an email to the ministry of health and visited a couple of clinics in and around Dammam. I have the Sehaty app, but unable to register for a vaccine. What I was told at this one clinic in Dammam that the ministry is working on it, to allow people who are on types of visas like ours, the chance to register on Sehatty.

I cannot use the my border number to create an account, so anybody on here who might know anything, kindly share with us please. Or I implore if anybody working for the ministry of health on here, kindly relay the message.

Looking forward to your great contributions.

So far, they are not allowing vaccines for visa holders.   They are prioritizing giving it to citizens and residents especially since stocks are low (the cancellation of second dose for all).   Eventually, you might be able to get it but I don't think it will happen very quickly.

Thanks for your feedback. Hopefully soon.

I have also just heard that if you have not had at least 1 dose of the vaccine, places like cafes, restaurants and malls or supermarkets will deny you entry.

So how the hell is that possible. Can anybody clarify on this????

Or we just have to bare the fact, (god forbid) contract the deadly disease and eventually die??

Yes that is on the horizon.  Also from 1st August, you can't even enter the workplace without being vaccinated.

Well thanks for that info. They will have to come up with a fast solution

Any update? I am also a business visa holder and I badly need to have the covid vaccine.

Hi, I'm also in a business visa. I would like to know whether Saudi is now allowing business visa holders to take vaccine or not. Please help

Officially no.  Unofficially you can get vaccinated if you have connections or try your luck at a center - if they are in a good mood, they will entertain you.
