Prerequisites for Umrah Visa:

You cannot apply for Umrah visa on your own. An authorized Umrah agent is needed to apply for an Umrah visa for you, according to the Saudi government laws.

If you hold any type of visit visa in UK then you cannot apply for Umrah visa.

An original Umrah Visa application form needs to be completed with the terms and conditions carefully read and signed. You can have the application form from your travel agent via email or you may request the form from your nearest Saudi Consulate.

From the date of submission of the application form, your passport should be valid for a minimum of 7 months.

If a person has a non-Muslim name then a certificate is needed from a Mosque or a religious center, as a declaration of him/her being a Muslim.

Please note that Saudi government has imposed a fee of SR2000 on all umrah pilgrims, who have been to umrah in one Hijri year before. Please factor this cost in, if you meet this condition. It applies on both existing and new customers and is a government charge and not part of the visa fee as such.

2 recent passport size photograph with a white background is required to be attached with the application form. Make sure to face the camera while taking the photo because angled or side pose is not accepted.

A woman who is not of 45 years of age or older, is not allowed for Umrah without a mahram. However, the proof of the relationship with the male member is required with the application form.

A woman who is 45 years of age or older is allowed to travel for Umrah without a mahram but they must travel in a group and produce an NOC from their mahram. Contact us for more details. You can read more on mahram rules.

Children who are younger than 18 years will not be issued an Umrah visa unless they are accompanied by elder members of the family.

Meningococcal Meningitis vaccine certificate,for applying for Umrah Visa from UK, therefore, it is now mandatory that you take the jab at least ten days before departure.  Appointments are sometime difficult to set and keeping in mind the time constraints, you should book appointments well in time with your GP. There are pharmacies as well, across UK that administer the vaccine and issue an ACWY there and then. If you have been vaccinated any time within the last three years, you are exempt, if you can produce a certificate.

The validity of Umrah visa is 30 days but that does not mean you are allowed to stay there for 30 days. 14 is the maximum number of days (according to 2015 new rules) allowed in Saudi Arabia and you must return before this period expires. In the month of Ramadan, you are also not allowed to stay for longer than this period. However, the exact dynamics are that Umrah visa is issued for 30 days, within which, you have to travel. After your entry in Saudi, you need to exit within 15 days. To stay on the safe side, it is advised to keep the above periods to 28 days and 14 days. Please contact us for more information.
