Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced that holders of all types of visas can perform Umrah during their stay in the Kingdom, as part of the ministry's efforts to facilitate procedures for the Guests of God and broaden the circle of beneficiaries of the services provided within the Hajj and Umrah system, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
The ministry explained that these visas include personal and family visit visas, the electronic tourist visa, the transit visa, the work visa and all other visa types, noting that the step is an extension of the Kingdom's approach of making it easier for Muslims from around the world to come and perform the rituals with ease and peace of mind, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The ministry said it had recently introduced the "Nusuk Umrah" platform for those wishing to perform Umrah directly, by logging on to the platform, choosing the appropriate package and easily issuing an Umrah permit electronically, in an integrated digital experience that allows beneficiaries to book services and choose appointments with full flexibility.
