You can adjust or disable cookies through your web browser preferences at any time. However, disabling essential cookies may prevent form pages from functioning correctly.

Information Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, lease, or trade applicant personal information to third-party advertisers or external marketing companies. Your data is disclosed exclusively to trusted entities involved in visa fulfillment:

  • Government Authorities: Information is directly transmitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and border control authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
  • Assigned Health Insurance Entities: Details necessary to issue mandatory tourist health insurance coverage as mandated by Saudi Arabian law.
  • PCI-DSS Payment Processors: Encrypted financial processing entities handling visa fee payments.
  • Technical Infrastructure Providers: Secure cloud hosting, server infrastructure, and security verification services bound by non-disclosure agreements.

Data Security Measures

Technical & Organizational Safeguards

We implement strict physical, electronic, and managerial security protocols to shield your personal data against loss, unauthorized access, or disclosure:

  • Data Encryption: All information transmitted between your browser and our platform is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption.
  • Secure Storage: Passport files and personal details reside on protected cloud infrastructure featuring strict multi-factor access controls.
  • PCI Compliance: Payment transactions adhere to PCI-DSS standards; credit card numbers are never stored on our web servers.
  • System Audits: Regular security scans, vulnerability checks, and system updates prevent unauthorized intrusions.

Data Retention Policy

We maintain a strict data minimization approach. Personal information and uploaded documents are retained only for as long as necessary to complete your visa processing, resolve post-application inquiries, and comply with legal or financial audit requirements.

Once the retention window expires, all personal identification files and passport scans are securely erased or anonymized within our database systems.

International Data Transfers

Because visa processing requires submission to overseas official channels, your personal information will be transferred to government databases located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

We ensure that all cross-border data transmissions maintain robust encryption standards and comply with international transfer protocols to preserve privacy and data protection regardless of geographic location.
