Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has made important changes to Umrah visas for the Hajj 2024 season. The visa validity period now starts from Dhul Qadah 15 instead of Dhul Qadah 29, which helps make pilgrimages smoother. Umrah pilgrims must leave before Dhul Qadah 15, a change that’s two weeks earlier than before, making the pilgrimage process easier for those visiting Makkah and Madinah.
A significant change is that Umrah visas are valid for three months from the date they’re issued, not from when people enter Saudi Arabia. This change is part of the Ministry’s collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to improve the overall pilgrimage experience.
These updates are vital as Saudi Arabia gets ready to welcome pilgrims for the Hajj 2024 pilgrimage, showing the country’s dedication to ensuring a smooth and organized journey for everyone involved. Keep an eye out for more updates as the Hajj 2024 season gets closer.
