Saudi Arabia has launched a new multiple-entry Umrah visa, allowing pilgrims to visit the Kingdom multiple times within a year while enjoying a total stay of up to 90 days.
The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced that this visa will be valid for 365 days from the date of issuance. During this period, visitors can enter Saudi Arabia as many times as they wish, as long as their combined stay does not exceed 90 days.
It is important to note that this visa cannot be used during the Hajj season. Additionally, pilgrims must purchase an Umrah package from a Nusuk-registered service provider for each trip, and obtain an Umrah permit via the Nusuk app, ensuring that the permit dates align with their travel package.
The visa will be automatically deactivated upon departure from Saudi Arabia and reactivated upon re-entry, provided all requirements are met. If pilgrims do not use the full 90-day allowance during their visits, they can carry over the remaining days for future trips until the visa expires.
This initiative aims to enhance convenience for Umrah pilgrims, streamline travel procedures, and support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 strategy to boost religious tourism.
