Given the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19，the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has taken a series of measures to contain and mitigate the pandemic. In compliance with the guidelines and recommendations to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Consular Section of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Riyadh will adjust the opening time to 8:30am-12pm every Sunday and Wednesday, starting from 22nd Mar, 2020.

       For further enquiries, please contact the Embassy through consulate_sau@mfa.gov.cn or telephone number 00966-11-4832126 ext. 105. All applicants are encouraged to submit their applications well in advance as the temporary change of service time may affect processing times. Due to the suspension on the service of the deposit payment banks, it is also recommended that those with no emergency requirements consider postponing their applications until the situation improves.

       This temporary adjustment will remain in effect until further notice.

       The Embassy of the People's Republic of China
