Can I perform Umrah on the Saudi tourist eVisa?

Yes. Citizens of eligible countries can perform Umrah on the tourist eVisa outside the Hajj period, without needing a separate Umrah visa.

How long is the Umrah visa valid?

The visa is valid for one year, supports multiple entries, and allows a maximum total stay of up to 90 days per year. A dedicated Umrah visa must be used within 30 days of issue.

What documents do I need for an Umrah visa?

A passport valid for at least six months, a recent passport-style photograph, confirmed accommodation or an Umrah package, and return flight tickets. Medical insurance is typically included with the visa.

Do I need to book an Umrah permit?

Yes. Whichever visa you travel on, you must book a free Umrah permit through the official Nusuk app before entering the Grand Mosque in Mecca. We explain exactly how during your application.

How long does the visa take to process?

Most applications are approved within 24 to 48 hours. Apply a few days before you travel, and track your application live throughout.

Can I perform Umrah during the Hajj season?

No. Umrah and tourist visas are not valid for pilgrimage during the Hajj season, which has specific annual blackout dates. Plan your trip outside those dates, or apply for a dedicated Hajj visa when available.

The Umrah Umrah Visa permits a stay of Up to 90 days and is valid for 1 year, multiple entry (multiple entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Umrah applications are refused.
