Saudi Arabia Launches One-Year Multiple-Entry Umrah Visa

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has introduced a new multiple-entry Umrah visa that allows visitors to enter the Kingdom several times during a one-year period.

The visa will remain valid for 365 days from the date of issuance and will allow eligible visitors to make multiple trips to Saudi Arabia, subject to meeting the required regulations.

Visa holders will be allowed to stay in the Kingdom for a cumulative total of up to 90 days during the visa’s validity period.

According to the Saudi Press Agency, the initiative supports the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 and the Pilgrim Experience Program. It aims to simplify arrival procedures, improve the experience of pilgrims and increase the efficiency of services provided to Umrah visitors.

For each visit, visa holders will be required to purchase a service package from an approved provider through the Nusuk platform.

The duration of the service package must not exceed the remaining validity period available on the visa.

Visitors will also be required to obtain an Umrah permit through the Nusuk application before arriving in Saudi Arabia.

The visa will be deactivated after each departure from the Kingdom. It will be reactivated once the visitor completes the required conditions for the next trip.

However, the visa will not be activated during the Hajj season, beginning from the first day of Dhu Al Qadah until the 13th day of Dhu Al Hijjah.
