Before departing, all citizens of the UK must apply for the necessary Saudi visa. You can do the Umrah pilgrimage using either the online tourist e-Visa or the two “Umrah visas” that you can apply for.
Before beginning a pilgrimage, the majority of foreign pilgrims are required to apply for an Umrah visa. A normal Saudi Arabia Tourist eVisa is also acceptable for Umrah for British Muslims with valid passports.
Also take note that anyone from the UK who is granted an Umrah visa must have travel insurance in order to pay for any unexpected medical expenses that might occur due to health problems while they are visiting the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia Tourist Visa Document Requirements
Before submitting an eVisa application , make sure to acquire the following documents:
- You must prove your identification with an official document issued by your government, such as a national ID card or birth certificate.
- Travel Authorization from Employer or School – Your host must provide you with a letter or a statement outlining the purpose of your visit.
- A recent colour passport photo of the applicant is ideal. If you don’t already have one, you can utilize our photo service to get fresh photos taken at home.
- Scan your passport’s bio page for valid personal information. Your passport must still be valid six months after the day you intend to enter Saudi Arabia.
- Provide evidence that you have a place to stay while you are in the nation.
- Show customs officials your bank statement to prove that you have the funds to cover the cost of your vacation.
- A Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate is required to enter Saudi Arabia if you are from a country where yellow fever is a serious threat.
