Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has asked holders of Umrah visas that expired since 8 Ramadan 1447 AH, corresponding to 25 February 2026, to leave directly via international ports, without the need to extend the visa or pay any fees or fines, before 1 Dhu al-Qadah 1447 AH, corresponding to 18 April 2026.
It explained that this measure aims to facilitate the departure of Umrah pilgrims whose visas expired during the period mentioned, as part of easing matters for the Guests of Allah and enabling them to complete their departure procedures smoothly via international ports, according to a post on the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah page on Facebook.
It stressed that 18 April 2026 is the last date for departure under this mechanism, urging beneficiaries to act before the deadline. The ministry also made the number 1966 available for enquiries and more information, along with its usual official channels.
