Saudi Arabia: No Cap On Overseas Pilgrims To Perform Umrah

Saudi Arabia
  • There will be no limit on the number of people who can perform Umrah.
  • Saudi Arabia has recently revealed a slew of amenities for Muslims seeking to do Umrah in the nation.
  • The Umrah visa has also been extended from 30 days to 90 days.

Saudi Arabia has stated that there is no limit to the number of people who can perform Umrah or smaller pilgrimage in the kingdom, despite the fact that facilities are available for foreign Muslims to come and complete the rituals.

According to the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, visitors, tourists, and workers who enter the kingdom on a visit, tourism, or labor visas can do Umrah and alter the mode of transportation used to leave the nation from the one used to enter Saudi Arabia.

The minister, on the other hand, asked Umrah pilgrims to adhere to the dates given in their licenses in order to conduct the rituals at Makkah’s Great Mosque.

Saudi Arabia has recently revealed a slew of amenities for Muslims seeking to do Umrah in the nation.

After reserving an e-appointment, Muslims with various sorts of entrance visas, such as personal, visit, and tourism visas, are permitted to do Umrah and visit Al Rawda Al Sharifa, where the tomb of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is located in the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina.

The Umrah visa has also been extended from 30 days to 90 days, allowing holders to enter the kingdom via all land, air, and sea routes and depart from any airport.

Saudi Arabia established a stopover transit visa this month, allowing holders to undertake Umrah, visit the Prophet’s Mosque, and attend various events across the kingdom.

The transit visa is valid for four days and is valid for 90 days.

Millions of Muslims who cannot physically or financially afford the Hajj rites travel to Saudi Arabia each year to perform Umrah.
