The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced that holders of all types of visas are now permitted to perform Umrah while in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The ministry said the decision is part of its ongoing efforts to streamline Umrah procedures, expand access to services under the Hajj and Umrah system, and support the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
According to the ministry, the eligible visa categories include personal and family visit visas, electronic tourist visas, transit visas, work visas, and other types of entry permits.
It added that the move reflects the Kingdom’s continued commitment to welcoming Muslims from across the globe and ensuring they can perform their religious rituals with ease and peace of mind.
The ministry also highlighted the recent launch of the Nusuk Umrah platform, which allows users to book Umrah packages, obtain electronic permits, schedule timings, and access related services through an integrated digital system.
“These facilitations embody the commitment of the Government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to provide high-quality services, ensuring a safe, smooth, and spiritually enriching experience for Umrah performers,” the ministry said.
