Saudi Arabia allows all visa holders to perform Umrah

In a historic step towards inclusivity and ease, Saudi Arabia has announced that holders of all visa types will now be permitted to perform Umrah during their stay in the Kingdom, aligning with the vision of Saudi Vision 2030.

According to the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, this initiative applies to personal and family visit visas, tourist visas, work permits, transit visas, and more — allowing millions of Muslims from around the world to fulfill their spiritual duty with greater convenience.

The Ministry emphasized that this move reflects the Kingdom’s humanitarian commitment to serving the guests of Allah, ensuring that every believer can experience the sanctity of Makkah and Madinah with peace, comfort, and dignity.

To make the journey seamless, the recently launched “Nusuk Umrah” digital platform provides pilgrims with an integrated experience for booking, permits, and packages tailored to their needs.

This remarkable step underscores the dedication of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince to enriching the spiritual journey of Muslims worldwide, welcoming them into an environment of safety, compassion, and faith.
