What is an Umrah e Visa?
The Umrah e Visa is an electronic visa introduced by Saudi Arabia in August 2023 to replace the previous physical visa application process for Umrah pilgrims. It allows pilgrims to apply and obtain their visas entirely online before travel.
How does the Umrah e Visa work?
To apply for an Umrah e Visa, pilgrims need to provide personal details and information about their Umrah package and upload required documents like a passport copy.
The online application can be completed in minutes, and approval is typically granted within 24-48 hours.
The visa is valid for 30 days from the date of issue, allowing a stay of up to 30 days in Saudi Arabia.
