Saudi Arabia has a new rule for people from the UK. From July 1, 2026, UK citizens can use an electronic travel paper. They can visit for tourism or business for 180 days in one year.

沙烏地阿拉伯針對英國公民實施了新規定。從2026年7月1日起，英國公民可以使用電子旅行文件。一年之內可用於旅遊或商務訪問，最長可停留180天。

People cannot use this paper to work or live in Saudi Arabia. It is also not for the Hajj. Saudi Arabia did this because the UK helped Saudi people travel before.

此文件不可用於在沙烏地阿拉伯工作或定居，亦不適用於朝聖（Hajj）。沙烏地阿拉伯採取此舉，是因為英國先前曾協助沙烏地國民旅行。
