Umrah ministry clarifies validity of multiple-entry Umrah visa

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has clarified the details of the multiple-entry Umrah visa. According to the ministry, the visa is valid for a period of 365 days, beginning from the date of issuance, and allows for a maximum stay of 90 days in Saudi Arabia. This information was provided in response to a question posed on the official customer care account of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, which sought clarification on the maximum period allowed to enter Saudi Arabia following the issuance of the visa.

The ministry emphasized that the total duration of stay in the Kingdom must conform to the length of the Umrah program, ensuring that the visa remains valid as long as the intended stay in Saudi Arabia does not exceed the 90-day limit. Furthermore, the ministry announced that the minimum age requirement for obtaining an Umrah permit through the Nusuk app is five years.

For children under the age of five, a permit is not necessary, streamlining the process for younger travelers to participate in the Umrah pilgrimage.
