Saudi Arabia launches one-year multiple-entry Umrah visa

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has introduced a new multiple-entry Umrah visa valid for 365 days from the date of issuance, allowing pilgrims to enter the Kingdom several times within a year.

Holders can stay for a cumulative total of up to 90 days across all visits. The initiative supports Saudi Vision 2030 and the Pilgrim Experience Program by improving travel flexibility, streamlining procedures, and enhancing services for visitors.

For each trip, pilgrims must purchase a service package from an approved provider through the Nusuk platform, with the package duration limited to the remaining visa eligibility.

 An Umrah permit issued via the Nusuk app is also required before arrival.

The visa is deactivated after each departure and reactivated once regulatory requirements are met for the next visit.

It will remain inactive during the Hajj season, to support pilgrimage management. -TradeArabia News Service
