Saudi Arabia launches multi-entry Umrah visa valid for one year

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced the launch of a multi-entry Umrah visa, enabling beneficiaries to enter Saudi Arabia multiple times during its 365-day validity from the date of issuance.

The total permitted stay under the visa is up to 90 days throughout its validity period. The stay is calculated cumulatively, based on the number of days spent in the Kingdom during each visit, allowing pilgrims to make several trips as long as the total does not exceed 90 days, in accordance with approved regulations.

The ministry clarified that to benefit from the visa, travelers must purchase a service package from an authorized provider within the Nusuk platform for each visit. The duration of the package must not exceed the remaining days available on the visa.

Entry to the Kingdom under this visa requires obtaining an Umrah permit via the Nusuk app before arrival, and the permit dates must match the approved package. Travelers must also meet all eligibility and entry requirements.

The visa will be deactivated after each departure from Saudi Arabia and reactivated for subsequent visits once regulatory requirements are met. The visa cannot be used for entry during the Hajj season, from the first of Dhu al-Qi'dah until the thirteenth of Dhu al-Hijjah.
