Statement from the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah:
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has confirmed that all holders of visas of various types can perform Umrah during their stay in the Kingdom.
This comes as part of the Ministry’s efforts to facilitate procedures for the guests of Allah and to expand the number of beneficiaries of the services provided within the Hajj and Umrah system, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
The Ministry explained that these visas include personal and family visit visas, electronic tourist visas, transit (stopover) visas, work visas, and other types of visas.
It pointed out that this initiative continues the Kingdom’s approach of making it easier for Muslims from around the world to come and perform their rituals with comfort and peace of mind.
The Ministry further stated that it has recently launched the “Nusuk Umrah” platform for those wishing to perform Umrah directly. Through the platform, users can select a suitable package and issue an Umrah permit electronically with ease, in an integrated digital experience that allows booking services and selecting preferred times with great flexibility.
The statement concluded that these facilitative measures reflect the keenness of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince — may Allah protect them — to enable Muslims to visit the Two Holy Mosques and perform their rituals in a spiritual and safe environment, while providing the finest services that enrich the experience of the guests of Allah and make their faith journey easier.
