These changes, designed to streamline the pilgrimage process and enhance the overall experience for visitors, directly impact the validity period and departure requirements for Umrah visas.

Earlier Departure Deadline: Streamlining the Flow

Previously, Umrah visas held a validity period extending until Dhul Qadah 29. However, the new guidelines require Umrah pilgrims to depart the Kingdom before Dhul Qadah 15.

This two-week adjustment aims to ensure a smoother flow of pilgrims visiting the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah.

Validity Starts Upon Issuance: Improved Clarity

Another significant change involves the calculation of the three-month Umrah visa validity. Previously, the validity commenced from the date of entry into Saudi Arabia. The new regulations stipulate that the three-month window now begins from the date the visa is issued. This clarification simplifies the process for pilgrims when planning their journeys.

Collaboration for a Seamless Experience

These visa updates reflect a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Their combined efforts aim to create a more organized and hassle-free pilgrimage experience for all Umrah visitors.

Staying Informed for a Successful Umrah

As the Hajj 2024 season approaches, these crucial visa updates are vital information for aspiring pilgrims. By understanding these changes, you can ensure your Umrah journey aligns with the latest regulations, promoting a smooth and fulfilling pilgrimage experience.
