Saudi Arabia began issuing Umrah visas for the new Umrah season on May 31, marking the start of preparations for the 1448 AH season after the conclusion of this year’s Hajj.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said visa issuance and the arrival of international pilgrims for the new Umrah season would begin on May 31 and continue until March 23, 2027.
Pilgrims will be allowed to enter Mecca and obtain Umrah permits through the government’s Nusuk application. The platform serves as Saudi Arabia’s unified digital gateway for permits, bookings, and pilgrimage services.
According to the ministry, March 9, 2027, corresponding to Shawwal 1, 1448 AH, will be the final date for issuing Umrah visas. The last date for pilgrims to enter Saudi Arabia will be March 23, 2027. All Umrah pilgrims must leave the Kingdom by April 7, 2027.
Saudi Arabia has accelerated the digital transformation of Umrah services in recent years through the Nusuk platform. The system includes electronic permits, automated contracting procedures, and QR code verification systems.
The Kingdom is also expanding transport and hospitality infrastructure as part of its efforts to accommodate growing numbers of pilgrims under Vision 2030.
