In a significant development for Muslims around the world, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has confirmed that holders of all types of visas are now eligible to perform Umrah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
According to a statement reported by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), this move is part of the Kingdom’s ongoing efforts to streamline procedures for Umrah performers and expand access to services within the Hajj and Umrah system, aligning with the broader goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
WHICH VISAS ARE COVERED
The ministry clarified that the policy now covers personal and family visit visas, electronic tourist visas, transit visas, work visas, and other categories.
“This step underscores the Kingdom’s commitment to enabling Muslims from around the world to perform their rituals with ease and tranquillity,” the statement added.
NUSUK UMRAH PLATFORM
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah also highlighted the role of the Nusuk Umrah platform, which allows users to perform Umrah by selecting packages and obtaining permits electronically. The integrated digital system enables pilgrims to book services, choose suitable timings, and manage their Umrah experience with greater convenience and flexibility.
SAFE AND SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE
“These facilitation measures reflect the keenness of the Government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to provide Muslims with a safe, spiritual environment, along with high-quality services that enrich the Umrah experience,” the ministry emphasized.
As Umrah becomes more accessible, now is the perfect time to plan your spiritual journey.
