Thanks to technical integration with the Tasreeh platform, expatriates working during Hajj no longer need to visit Jawazat offices in person to obtain their permits
This directive will take effect starting April 29 (Dhul Qada 1, 1446) and will remain in force until the end of the Hajj season
The Ministry announced that April 13, 2025 (Shawwal 15, 1446 AH), is the final date for Umrah visa holders to enter Saudi Arabia
The news has been welcomed by millions of pilgrims who, in recent years, have dealt with extreme heat during Hajj
The ministry issued a warning, stating that any delays beyond the specified date will be considered a violation
The Ministry of Interior also emphasised the importance of strict adherence to the rules imposed on Hajj and Umrah service providers
