Hey looking at Saudia Airline coz they offer the cheapest flights. MNL CAI route layover in Jeddah. I tried researching about transit visa in Saudi but to no avail. The only information I found was, for as long as the layover in Jeddah wouldnt take more than 12 hours and I stay in the transit area for Saudia passengers then im good to go. Any thoughts on this?
No.
