Doha, Qatar: The Indian Embassy in Doha stated that it is currently coordinating the departure of its nationals who wish to travel to India via the Abu Samra land border.
The embassy shared a link for such nationals to register, noting that it will take 48 hours to obtain necessary approvals.
It listed a few guidelines for travellers to ensure a smooth transit:
1. Essential Travel Documents: Before heading to the border, the Embassy urged travellers to ensure they have the following: passport, an approved transit visa approved by Saudi authorities either through normal procedures or temporary transit visa through the Embassy, and a confirmed onward flight ticket from Riyadh or Dammam to their final destination in India.
The embassy warned that entry may be denied by Saudi Immigration without these documents as the visa is a 96-hour temporary transit visa.
