Frequently Asked Questions
Can I perform UMRAH and then travel to other Saudi cities?
Yes! Your UMRAH eVisa allows you to perform pilgrimage in Mecca and Medina, and then explore other Saudi cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, AlUla, and more. It's a combined pilgrimage and tourism visa.
What's the difference between UMRAH and Hajj visas?
Hajj is a mandatory pilgrimage performed during specific dates (Dhul Hijjah 8-12) with quota systems. UMRAH is a voluntary pilgrimage that can be performed anytime outside Hajj season, with no quotas and easier online application.
How long does the UMRAH visa approval take?
Regular processing takes 3-5 business days. Express processing delivers your approved eVisa in 12-36 hours. Both options include email delivery of your approved visa.
Do I need travel insurance for UMRAH?
While not mandatory for the visa, we highly recommend travel insurance covering medical emergencies, trip cancellation, and baggage loss. Saudi Arabia has excellent healthcare but costs can be high without insurance.
Can I extend my UMRAH visa while in Saudi Arabia?
UMRAH eVisa extensions are possible through Saudi immigration authorities (Jawazat). You must apply before your current visa expires. Overstaying without extension can result in fines and deportation.
What if my UMRAH visa application is rejected?
Rejections are rare if all requirements are met. Common reasons include incorrect documents, previous deportation, or security concerns. We provide full support and can help reapply with corrected information if needed.
Prepare for Your UMRAH Journey

Study UMRAH rituals before you travel: Ihram, Tawaf, Sa'i, and hair trimming. Watch video guides and read authentic resources to prepare spiritually and practically.
Pack Appropriately
Bring modest clothing, comfortable walking shoes, unscented toiletries (for ihram), prayer mat, and any medications. Download UMRAH apps for guidance and duas.
Book Accommodation Early
