The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs in the Sultanate of Oman has announced the opening of registration for the 1447 AH Hajj season, from September 23, 2025, corresponding to 30 Rabi' al-Awwal 1447 AH, until October 8, 2025, corresponding to 15 Rabi' al-Akhir 1447 AH, via the electronic registration system for pilgrims from the Sultanate of Oman, for citizens and residents aged 18 and over.
The ministry explained that the names of those accepted will be announced in three phases, according to the website of the Oman News Agency:
Phase one: from October 14 to 30, 2025, corresponding to 21 Rabi' al-Akhir to 8 Jumada al-Ula 1447 AH.
Phase two: from November 2 to 6, 2025, corresponding to 11 to 15 Jumada al-Ula 1447 AH.
Phase three: from November 9 to 11, 2025, corresponding to 18 to 20 Jumada al-Ula 1447 AH.
The ministry will announce today, Monday, the full timetable for the 1447 AH season, from registration until the last date for pilgrims from the Sultanate of Oman to enter Saudi Arabia via land and air routes.
Announcing the registration date for this season this early underlines the ministry's efforts to stress the importance of early preparation and completing the necessary procedures, and its keenness to provide the best services to pilgrims from the Sultanate of Oman so they can perform Hajj with ease and peace of mind.
The ministry stated that registration is carried out directly via the link www.hajj.om during the specified period, as the system offers three direct registration methods: by entering the civil number, by ID card, or by mobile phone number if the ID card chip and the phone SIM card support the "PKI" electronic authentication system.
The ministry noted that registration will rely on the civil number shown on the ID card, provided the card is valid, and that applicants must use their personal mobile phone number during registration to receive text messages from the system, or their personal email, which is the approved means of communication for any procedures or notifications and any consequences arising from them.
The ministry stressed that, to ensure transparency and give eligible applicants freedom to choose their Hajj company, Hajj companies are prohibited from interfering in the registration of those wishing to perform the Hajj rituals.
It noted that no application submitted outside the electronic pilgrim registration system or after the specified period will be considered, except for what the ministry announces on its website, its social media accounts or in local newspapers.
The ministry stated that registering in the system does not constitute a promise of entitlement or final approval, until the registration process is completed, eligibility priorities are sorted, those entitled to places are identified and they are officially notified by the ministry as stipulated in the system.
Regarding the rules for granting eligibility, the ministry stressed that eligibility places are granted automatically after the accuracy of the data is verified, within the number allocated to pilgrims from the Sultanate of Oman by the competent authorities in Saudi Arabia, and the eligible person is notified by text message via the system.
The ministry has the right to cancel a place if it is proven that the data the applicant committed to when competing for eligibility places is incorrect. If an eligible person declines the place, they have no right to assign it to other people; instead, it is granted directly via the system to the next eligible person in the sorting.
The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs stressed that no application submitted before the announced date, or after the specified period has ended, or without the required attachments will be considered.
