The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has made an important announcement for those planning to perform Umrah in Saudi Arabia. Holders of any type of visa are now eligible to perform Umrah in the Kingdom. With this update, travelers from a broader range of backgrounds now have the opportunity to embark on this significant spiritual journey.
Whether traveling for work, family visits, or just passing through Saudi Arabia, anyone holding a valid visa can now easily access the Umrah experience. This includes:
- personal and family visit visas
- electronic tourist visas
- transit visas
- work visas
In August 2025, the Ministry also introduced Nusuk Umrah platform, which offers a seamless way for foreigners to select Umrah packages, obtain permits, and book services. The platform allows users to choose flexible timings and services, making it easier than ever to perform Umrah at their convenience.
