Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah now allows holders of all visa types to perform Umrah while in the Kingdom, expanding access and simplifying procedures in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
The ministry said the decision supports its broader efforts to streamline services for Umrah performers and facilitate their spiritual journey within the Hajj and Umrah system.
The initiative helps Muslims worldwide visit the Two Holy Mosques and perform their rituals in a safe and serene environment.

According to the ministry, eligible visa categories include personal and family visit visas, electronic tourist visas, transit visas, work visas, and other types of entry permits.
It noted that the measure reflects the Kingdom’s ongoing commitment to enabling Muslims from around the world to perform their rituals with ease and tranquillity.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah also highlighted the recent launch of the Nusuk Umrah platform, which allows pilgrims to directly select suitable Umrah packages, obtain electronic permits, and book related services flexibly.
The platform integrates multiple services digitally, giving users greater convenience in planning their visit and choosing timings.
The ministry underscored that these facilitations reflect the keenness of the Government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince to provide high-quality services that enrich the experience of Umrah performers and ease their faith journey.
