An Umrah visa application will cost between $380 and $490 as of 2022. However, the cost of a visa may vary from one nation to another. For instance, service prices from the US range from $173 to $220, while they cost £89 ($120) from the UK.
Pilgrims must additionally pay for the Umrah travel package , which brings the total price of the Umrah to between $1,500 and $2,000.
Umrah Visa Validity
The validity of the Umrah visa is two weeks. However, regardless of whether you have stayed for two weeks or not, you must go by the last day of Ramadan if you are conducting the Umrah during that holy month.
New Rules For Umrah from UK
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has announced new guidelines for foreign pilgrims planning to conduct Umrah in 2022:
- If they can show they were not exposed to the virus or had no contact with an infected person, pilgrims who have not had the Covid-19 vaccination are still permitted to undertake the Umrah.
- People from the previous nations where flights were halted (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, Malawi, Mauritius, Zambia, Madagascar, Angola, Seychelles, United Republic of Comoros, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Afghanistan) can now enter Saudi Arabia and perform Umrah.
- When arriving in Saudi Arabia, pilgrims are no longer needed to present a PCR or quick antigen test.
- After entering Saudi Arabia, pilgrims are no longer required to quarantine themselves.
- In public settings, masks and social distance are no longer necessary. This applies to the Two Holy Mosques as well as to every other mosque in the nation (masks are still required inside).
- Now, pilgrims can pre-order the Umrah permit using either the Umrahna or Tawakkalna applications.
- After arriving, pilgrims are no longer required to register on the Muqeem app. Those who have followed all the necessary vaccination instructions are urged to register so that their Tawakkalna app can display their immunization status.
