Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has started issuing Umrah visas for the post-Hajj season.
The new Umrah season aligns with the beginning of the Islamic year on Muharram 1.
As per the media reports, KSA’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah is implementing directives from the leadership to accommodate more pilgrims and provide tailored services to meet their needs.
Previously, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah temporarily halted issuing Umrah permits for a month starting May 23. This measure was implemented to prioritise the comfort of Hajj pilgrims from across the globe.
The ministry announced the resumption of Umrah visa issuance via the Nusuk App from 15 Zil-HajjThe, corresponding to June 21. The ministry underscored that restarting Umrah visa issuance will facilitate the seamless arrival of Umrah pilgrims to KSA.
As per the ministry, this annual initiative follows immediately after the Hajj season, leveraging the ministry’s expertise to implement technical and field programs that cater to Hajj and Umrah pilgrims and enhance their pilgrimage experience.
