Saudi Arabia has opened the Umrah pilgrimage to all visa holders, allowing foreigners to enter the country through various visa types, including transit visas, eVisas, instant e-Visas for specific visa holders, visa on arrival, and Saudi Investor eVisas.
This initiative is part of the Umrah and Hajj program named after Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz, where 1,000 prominent Islamic figures from around the world, including scholars, clerics, and university professors, are invited to perform Umrah at the Grand Mosque in Mecca and offer prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina.
Additionally, the Umrah season in Saudi Arabia typically opens in July, offering individuals the opportunity to complete the pilgrimage with specific guidelines and procedures in place for visa applications and entry into the country.
