With Hajj 2025 fast approaching, Saudi Arabia is already setting the stage for a seamless and spiritually fulfilling pilgrimage season<\/h2>\n

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has unveiled a robust plan designed to enhance every aspect of the pilgrim experience \u2014 from visa processes to support services on the ground.<\/p>\n

A key highlight? Work visas for Hajj and Umrah are now more accessible through the \u201cAjeer\u201d platform, which streamlines permits for seasonal employment<\/h2>\n

This move aims to ensure that businesses supporting the pilgrimage are fully staffed and ready at all critical service points.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just about logistics \u2014 it\u2019s about heart.<\/p>\n

The ministry is encouraging thousands of volunteers to step up this year, helping at border crossings, inside the Grand Mosque, and throughout the holy sites.<\/p>\n

These volunteers will be offering guidance, distributing food and water, and supporting elderly pilgrims and people with disabilities with kindness and care.<\/p>\n

In addition, Saudi is expanding its on-site social services<\/h2>\n
