How to Verify Official Information
Rules for entry, permits, dates, fees and health requirements vary by nationality and season and change often. Social posts, videos and old screenshots may be out of date or false.
A simple method
- Find the official source: haj.gov.sa, nusuk.sa, visitsaudi.com, visa.visitsaudi.com.
- Check the date of the page and any country-specific notes.
- Compare with your national Hajj or Umrah authority and your government's travel advice.
- Ask your provider to show you official documents, not just promises.
- Recheck close to departure.
If sources differ, trust the official one and ask for clarification in writing.
