Performing Umrah Made Easy: You Can Now Go with Any Visa Type

Dreaming of answering the call to Umrah but feeling held back by confusing visa rules? We have wonderful news for you: the path has been cleared! Saudi Arabia's updated policies now allow you to perform Umrah on almost any type of visa.

Whether you're entering the Kingdom on a Tourist eVisa, a Family Visit Visa, a Work Visa, or even a Transit/Stopover Visa, you can fulfill your spiritual journey. This incredible flexibility means that if you're already in Saudi Arabia for any reason, or planning a visit, performing Umrah is now seamlessly within your reach.

🌙 Your Digital Gateway to a Smooth Journey
Planning your pilgrimage has been transformed by technology, with the Nusuk Umrah Platform leading the way. Think of it as your personal Umrah assistant, allowing you to:

Apply for an Umrah permit digitally.

Browse and compare approved Umrah packages from trusted providers.

Get instant confirmations—all from one official, secure source.

A Quick Important Note: While Nusuk is the premier platform, it may not be available for Umrah visa and package applications in every country just yet. But don't let that stop you!

If Nusuk isn't an option from your location, you can still easily obtain a visa through:

The official Saudi Tourist eVisa portal via the Ministry of Tourism.

Visa upon Arrival (for eligible nationals).  If you hold a US/UK/Schengen visa, ensure it is valid and has an entry stamp from the issuing country.

Both of these visa types fully permit you to perform Umrah, keeping your dream perfectly on track.

🕋 Respect the Hajj Season: Please note that if you are using a Tourist eVisa or Visa on Arrival, you cannot perform Umrah during the official Hajj season. Be sure to plan your travels outside of this period.

✈️ Take Full Control: Book Your Entire Trip Online
The convenience doesn't stop with the visa. You can now arrange your entire journey from the comfort of your home, putting you in complete control of your schedule and budget.

Using popular travel sites like Trip.com, you can:
