Saudi Arabia Introduces One-Year Multiple-Entry Umrah Visa

Saudi Arabia has introduced a multiple-entry Umrah visa valid for 365 days from the date of issuance. Eligible pilgrims can enter the country several times and stay for a combined maximum of 90 days during the visa period. Each visit will require travellers to purchase an approved service package through the official Nusuk platform and obtain an Umrah permit through the application. The visa cannot be used during the Hajj season, beginning from the first day of Dhu Al-Qi’dah until the 13th day of Dhu Al-Hijjah. The change provides greater flexibility for repeat pilgrims and could support year-round religious travel outside the peak Hajj period.
