Saudi Arabia Suspends ‘Umrah Host’ Visas!

Earlier, citizens and residents of Saudi Arabia were eligible to apply as a host and bring in anywhere between 3 to 5 pilgrims. This particular visa, however, has been suspended by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah reports the Saudi Gazette.

This new update on the ‘Umrah Host’ visa has not yet been announced on the official handles of the ministry yet.

The Absher platform no longer has the Umrah Host feature on it at the time of writing this article.

The general Umrah visas where individuals and travel groups can apply still remain open.

Here are the latest stats on the daily number of pilgrims.
