Umrah visa rules

Be aware that all visas expire before the Hajj season to help the Saudi authorities manage the influx of pilgrims during Hajj. The Umrah visa does not allow you to perform Hajj.

Avoid overstaying your visa, as there are penalties for both pilgrims and the agencies arranging the visas. We ensure you receive timely notifications and reminders to prevent any issues.

Requirements for performing Umrah

For most applicants, only two essential documents are required for the Saudi Arabia Umrah Visa:

• Valid passport: Must be valid for at least six months from your travel date.

• Recent passport photo: Passport-size with a white background.

Additional documents that may be required:

In some cases, you may need to provide:

• Vaccination certificates (e.g., for meningitis).

• Travel itinerary (confirmed flight and accommodation bookings).

• Financial proof (such as bank statements or an employer letter).

• Letter from a local Islamic center (for some pilgrims).

We’ll email you if any of these additional documents are needed.
