The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced that people holding any type of visa can now perform Umrah.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, the ministry said the decision aims to simplify procedures for pilgrims and expand access to services under the Hajj and Umrah system in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
The ministry confirmed that all visa types, including personal, family visit, electronic tourist, transit and work visas, were included.
“This step underscores the Kingdom’s commitment to enabling Muslims from around the world to perform their rituals with ease and tranquillity,” the ministry said and also highlighted the launch of the Nusuk Umrah platform that allows users to plan and perform Umrah by selecting packages and obtaining permits electronically.
