Big news for residents of the GCC!

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced that GCC residents can now perform Umrah any time of the year. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer stay, there are multiple ways to make the pilgrimage easier and more accessible than ever.

Pilgrims can organize their Umrah experience through the Nusuk platform, Saudi Arabia’s official digital gateway for pilgrimage services

This user-friendly system allows you to purchase Umrah packages tailored to your needs. Alternatively, you can apply for a visa through accredited visa centers, making the process smooth and straightforward.

For travelers passing through Saudi Arabia on Saudia Airlines or Flynas, the transit visa is an exciting option!

This allows pilgrims to perform Umrah during their stopovers, making even short trips meaningful.

Visitors can also opt for a tourism visa through the electronic visa platform

This visa not only enables them to perform Umrah but also gives access to explore holy sites across the Kingdom, making the journey both spiritual and enriching.

To ensure everything runs smoothly, all visitors are required to secure an Umrah permit via the Nusuk app before arriving at the Grand Mosque in Mecca. This helps keep the rituals organized and safe for everyone.

With these flexible options, Saudi Arabia is making it easier than ever for GCC residents to experience the spiritual journey of Umrah, anytime they choose!
