In a major announcement by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, everyone holding a valid visa of any type can perform Umrah with ease and comfort.

The announcement was made by the ministry on its official X account. ‘Arrivals from anywhere and with any visa can perform Umrah with ease and comfort,’ it said.

According to the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, individuals holding personal, family, transit, labor, and e-visas are now permitted to perform Umrah.

‘Whatever the type of your visa, you can do Umrah,’ it announced.

Those who wish to undertake the minor pilgrimage have been advised to use the Nusuk app to obtain an Umrah permit. Furthermore, pilgrims should strictly adhere to designated timings for rituals at the Mecca Grand Mosque to avoid inconvenience.
