Riyadh: The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has launched a multiple-entry Umrah visa valid for 365 days from the date of issuance, allowing beneficiaries to enter the Kingdom multiple times with a cumulative stay of up to 90 days.
According to Saudi Press Agency, this step aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Pilgrim Experience Program's goals of facilitating arrival, enriching the pilgrim experience, and improving service efficiency. Each visit requires purchasing a service package from an approved provider on the Nusuk platform, with the package duration not exceeding the remaining days available on the visa. Entry is also contingent on issuing an Umrah permit via the Nusuk application prior to arrival.
The visa is deactivated after each departure and reactivated upon meeting regulatory requirements for the next visit. It will not be activated during the Hajj season, from the first of Dhu Al-Qi'dah to the 13th of Dhu Al-Hijjah. The ministry affirmed that the visa enhances flexibility in planning visits and supports the integration of digital and operational services throughout the pilgrim's journey.
