Umrah Visa and Entry Requirements
We deliberately give no fees, validity periods or deadlines, since these change and depend on nationality and visa category. Which visas allow Umrah, when and how, is set by Saudi authorities and has changed in recent years.
What to check officially
- Which visa category you should apply under, using visa.visitsaudi.com and the Ministry at haj.gov.sa.
- Passport validity and blank pages required.
- Health and vaccination requirements for your country and season.
- Insurance, accommodation and any app or booking requirements.
- Rules on how long you may stay and where you may travel.
Preparing
Apply early, keep copies of documents, use only official channels, and be wary of anyone promising a visa for a fee outside them. A visa is never guaranteed.
