Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced on Sunday that holders of all types of visas are now permitted to perform Umrah while staying in the Kingdom.
In a statement, the ministry said the decision aligns with ongoing efforts to simplify procedures for pilgrims and expand access to services within the Hajj and Umrah system, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
The ministry confirmed that the eligible visa categories include: personal and family visit visas, electronic tourist visas, transit visas, work visas, and other visa types.
This initiative reflects Saudi Arabia’s continued commitment to making it easier for Muslims worldwide to perform their religious rituals with ease and peace of mind.
The ministry also highlighted the recent launch of the Nusuk Umrah digital platform, designed for individuals who wish to book and perform Umrah directly. Through the platform, users can select suitable packages, obtain electronic Umrah permits, and manage bookings and schedules with flexibility through a seamless digital experience.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah concluded that these measures demonstrate the Saudi government’s dedication to enabling Muslims to visit the Two Holy Mosques and perform their rituals in a spiritually fulfilling atmosphere, while ensuring that pilgrims receive high-quality services that enhance their faith journey.
