Hajj and Umrah Ministry confirms all visa types allow holders to perform Umrah

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah confirmed that holders of all types of visas may perform Umrah while in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

 The ministry said the measure comes as part of its efforts to streamline procedures for Umrah performers and broaden access to services within the Hajj and Umrah system, in support of the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.

 The ministry indicated that these visas include personal and family visit visas, electronic tourist visas, transit visas, work visas, and other types of visas.

 It also noted that this step reflects the Kingdom’s ongoing commitment to facilitating the arrival of Muslims from around the world to perform their rituals with ease and tranquility.

 Moreover, the ministry stated that it has recently launched the Nusuk Umrah platform for those wishing to perform Umrah directly, enabling users to select a suitable package and obtain Umrah permits electronically with ease. The integrated digital platform also allows beneficiaries to book services and choose timings flexibly, the ministry said.

 Additionally, the ministry highlighted that these facilitations reflect the keenness of the Government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enable Muslims to visit the Two Holy Mosques and perform their rituals in a safe and spiritual environment, while providing high-quality services that enrich the Umrah performers’ experience and ease their faith journey.
