AN OPEN ADVICE TO OUR DECEMBER & RAMADAN UMRAH PILGRIMS...
One mistake we see every year is this:
Many people don't think about Umrah until they are ready to travel.
Unfortunately, that is also when thousands of other pilgrims from around the world begin applying.
By then, visa processing becomes slower, the portal experiences heavy traffic, and approvals may take much longer than expected.
Some applications that would normally be processed within a few days end up taking weeks or even months. In some cases, applications are delayed until the intended travel period has passed.
Sadly, many people blame their travel agency.
The truth is that once an application enters the Saudi system, processing is governed by Saudi regulations and the volume of applications at that time. No travel agency can force the system to approve a visa faster.
That is why we keep advising our clients:
*Don't wait until you are ready to travel before applying for your visa.*
AlihamduLilah Robbil'alameen, this is one of the best periods to process your Umrah visa.
At the moment, many visas are being approved within a few days, with some taking up to *7 days*, depending on individual circumstances and official processing.
Even better, Saudi Arabia has introduced the **365-Day Multiple Entry Umrah Visa** for eligible Nigerian pilgrims.
With this visa, you can:
✅ Hold a visa valid for *365 days* from the date of issuance.
✅ Enter Saudi Arabia multiple times using the same visa.
✅ Stay for a *maximum cumulative period of 90 days* during the visa's validity.
Please note that this visa *cannot be used during the Hajj season*, from *1 Dhul-Qa'dah to 13 Dhul-Hijjah*, in accordance with Saudi regulations.
If your intention is to perform Umrah between **now and December**, or if you are already planning for *Ramadan Umrah*, this is the right time to begin your visa process.
When your travel date arrives, you don't want your only concern to be:
*"I'm still waiting for my visa."*
Preparation is part of a successful journey.
At *𝐀Z ZĀD TRAVELS*, we would rather advise you to apply early than apologize later because circumstances beyond anyone's control caused delays.
If you have questions about the new **One-Year Multiple Entry Umrah Visa** or would like guidance on the best option for your travel plans, we're always happy to help.
