The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, in a circular sent to the Chamber of Travel and Tourism Companies and Agencies, has warned all travel companies against issuing Umrah visas for the new 1448 AH season until the rules and procedures governing the season have been approved and companies have been officially notified of them.
This came after it was noticed that some travel companies had begun issuing Umrah visas for the new season, following Saudi Arabia's official announcement of the start of issuing these visas.
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities stressed in the circular that, in the event of any violation, all necessary legal measures will be taken against the violating companies.
