Saudi Arabia launches one-year multiple-entry Umrah visa

Saudi Arabia has introduced a multiple-entry Umrah visa that allows pilgrims to enter the Kingdom several times over a one-year period with a cumulative stay of up to 90 days.

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said the visa is valid for 365 days from the date of issuance and permits multiple entries, subject to applicable regulations.

Under the new policy, visa holders must purchase an approved service package through the Nusuk platform for each visit. The package’s duration must not exceed the visa’s remaining validity.

Pilgrims are also required to obtain an Umrah permit through the Nusuk application before arriving in Saudi Arabia.

Authorities said the visa will be deactivated after each departure and reactivated once the requirements for the next visit are met.

The ministry added that the visa will not be activated during the Hajj season, from the first day of Dhu Al Qadah until the 13th day of Dhu Al Hijjah.

Saudi authorities said the initiative supports the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 by improving access for pilgrims and enhancing the overall Umrah experience.
