According to local media, Saudi Arabia will allow holders of seven types of visas to perform Umrah this season.

Family visit visas, personal visit visas, e-tourist visas, visas granted on arrival at Saudi airports, tourist visas for holders of "Schengen" visas, US and UK visa holders, Umrah visas from licensed tourism and travel offices abroad and Umrah visas obtained via "Maqam" platforms are among the visas available.

Those performing Umrah can obtain an Umrah visa and select a package of services via the "Maqam" platform: http://maqam.gds.haj.gov.sa/

Umrah visas can also be issued directly through the unified national visa platform, via the link: https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/

According to the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, all pilgrims must book an appointment for Umrah through the "Eatmarna" app. It will be necessary for them to arrive in the kingdom at least six hours before the scheduled time in order to keep the appointment. Flight delays automatically cancel the appointment.

The ministry clarified that if the Umrah permit was booked and the pilgrim was unable to attend from within the kingdom, they would be allowed to book a new appointment immediately once the permit expires, and if the pilgrim wishes to change the date, they must do so four hours before the scheduled appointment.

By visiting Mecca in Saudi Arabia and performing a series of religious rituals, Muslims can complete the Umrah pilgrimage. All Muslims around the world are welcome to take part in the journey.
