The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has emphasized that pilgrims holding multiple-entry visas must carefully follow the service package regulations, as visa validity alone does not exempt them from booking necessary services. The Ministry announced the launch of the multiple-entry Umrah visa in July, allowing holders to enter the Kingdom multiple times over a 365-day period, with a total stay of up to 90 days.
This system aims to enhance pilgrims' flexibility in planning their visits. To utilize the visa, pilgrims must purchase a service package from licensed providers via the Nusk system for each visit. The package duration must align with the visa's remaining validity, and all pilgrims must adhere to the duration regulations for the provided programs and services.
To enter the Kingdom, pilgrims must obtain an Umrah permit through the Nusk app before arrival, ensuring the permit dates correspond with the approved service package. Compliance with travel and entry eligibility requirements is crucial. The initial visit involves selecting a service package from Nusk providers, applying for the visa, and processing it with the relevant authorities.
Travel eligibility is verified before boarding, while entry and departure details are recorded, including the calculation of the remaining stay period.
