According to the Ministry of Hajj and Umra, the Umrah visa for foreign pilgrims is valid for a period of 3 months, starting from the date they arrive in Saudi Arabia and ending on Dhul-Qe’da 15 (which corresponds to May 23). However, the period may vary depending on the pilgrim's planned schedule.


The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced that Umrah visa holders can enter Saudi Arabia until Dhul-Qe’da 15 (May 23), and they must leave by Dhul-Qa’da 29 (June 6).


This ministry had previously announced that the Umrah visa will remain valid for 3 months from the issuance date and expire on Dhul-Qe’da 15 each year, and it starts again on the 15th and continues until the last date to stay in Saudi Arabia, i.e., Dhul-Qe’da 29.


The Ministry of Hajj and Umra has also noted that the Umrah visa is valid for 90 days only and cannot be extended or converted into another visa. People can apply for an Umrah visa through electronic platforms approved by Umrah services.
