The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia has officially announced the commencement of the Umrah season. This exciting development allows Saudi citizens, resident expatriates, and citizens and expats of GCC countries to obtain Umrah permits through the user-friendly Nusuk and Tawakkalna applications. By facilitating the issuance of permits, the Ministry aims to enable more Muslims to perform Umrah and engage in sacred rituals following the successful completion of Hajj 2023. Moreover, this initiative aligns with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to enhance service quality and enrich the spiritual experience for pilgrims.
Umrah Permits for International Pilgrims:
In a previous statement, the Ministry expressed its readiness to welcome Umrah pilgrims from outside the Kingdom and initiated the issuance of e-Visas for Umrah. The process for obtaining the e-Visa involves submitting a request through the Nusuk platform, with arrival in Saudi Arabia commencing from 1st Muharram 1445 AH.
Nusuk Application and its Purpose:
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has introduced the Nusuk application as one of the platforms allowing visitors and pilgrims to obtain necessary permits for performing Umrah rituals and visiting the revered Rawdah Al-Sharifa. The permits issued align with the approved capacity determined by the relevant authorities. The primary objective behind these measures is to provide a spiritually uplifting and safe environment while maintaining strict regulatory controls. Integration with the Tawakkalna application ensures that the health status of permit applicants remains valid.
The start of the Umrah season marks an important milestone for Saudi citizens, resident expatriates, and GCC residents, as they can now obtain Umrah permits conveniently through the Nusuk and Tawakkalna applications. This initiative not only enables more Muslims to engage in Umrah and sacred rituals but also supports the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. The Ministry's commitment to providing a spiritual and safe environment for pilgrims, combined with regulatory controls and health status verification, ensures a fulfilling and meaningful experience. Prepare for an inspiring journey as you embark on your Umrah pilgrimage.
