Saudi Arabia Introduces Flexible Multiple-Entry Umrah Visa
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has introduced a convenient new multiple-entry visa, allowing pilgrims to visit the Kingdom multiple times throughout its one-year validity period. Each visit permits a stay of up to 90 days, provided that travelers book a dedicated service package via the official Nusuk platform. To ensure a smooth experience, visitors are required to secure an official Umrah permit through the app before their arrival, with all dates carefully aligned with their booked services.
This initiative is part of a broader push to digitize and simplify the pilgrimage process, offering greater flexibility for those planning to perform Umrah throughout the year. It is important to note that this visa is temporarily deactivated upon departure and requires a new service package purchase for every subsequent trip. Additionally, the visa remains unavailable during the Hajj season, specifically from 1 Dhul Qidah to 13 Dhul Hijjah, to manage crowd control and infrastructure. By utilizing the vetted service providers listed on Nusuk, pilgrims can confidently arrange their travel, accommodation, and transportation while avoiding unauthorized vendors.
