Saudi cautions people not to go to embassies to follow up visas

The Interior Ministry drew citizens' attention that it received from the Foreign Ministry reports stating that some of the travelers abroad for tourism go to Saudi embassies for the purpose of following up or inquiring about transactions or labor visas inside the embassy as most of them came on tourist visas that do not entitle them to exercise any commercial activity.
The ministry calls upon citizens not to go to embassies or consulates personally and leave this to the approved follow-up offices in those countries except that the visitor is the employer personally or one of his relatives from the first degree, so that they do not get extorted by gangs and groups lying in wait for them in those countries.
