The validity of the Umrah visa is two weeks. Regardless of whether you have spent the whole two weeks in Saudi Arabia or not, if you are performing the Umrah pilgrimage during the holy month of Ramadan, you must leave the country by the last day of Ramadan.
Can we perform Umrah on a Tourist Visa?
Yes, it is OK. The government emphasises that people with Saudi tourist visas will be permitted to participate in the Umrah pilgrimage by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As a result, people from 49 countries who qualify can now apply for a Saudi electronic visa and conduct Umrah in the Kingdom. Through the website of the Saudi Arabia Immigration Services, they can quickly and easily obtain their visas.
