Saudi Arabia Unleashes Massive One Year Multiple Entry Umrah Visa For Global Expats

Eligible UAE Residents Can Now Skip The Frustrating Embassy Paperwork Via Nusuk

Saudi Arabia just completely revolutionized religious travel for millions of global Muslims. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah officially launched a new multiple-entry Umrah visa. This powerful document remains fully valid for an entire year. Eligible travelers can now enter the Kingdom multiple times without endless embassy paperwork. This massive initiative specifically targets foreign expats living in the UAE and beyond.

You must hold an approved residence permit from specific western nations to qualify. The United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia issue these approved permits. Your passport must also remain valid for at least six months. Applicants must aggressively secure an approved Umrah service package first. You must book this package directly through the official Nusuk digital platform.

Travelers Must Book Approved Packages Through The Digital Platform

Available packages range from standard options to highly expensive luxury experiences. These packages include your visa processing, mandatory insurance, and hotel accommodations. The new visa allows a maximum cumulative stay of exactly 90 days. You cannot use this specific visa during the highly restricted annual Hajj season. Travelers must also generate a unique Umrah permit through the Nusuk application.

You must secure this permit before arriving at the Saudi border. Authorities deactivate the visa immediately after you depart the Kingdom. They quickly reactivate the document once you fulfill the requirements for your next visit. A standard Umrah package costs roughly 2,000 Dirhams for eager travelers. Luxury packages will drain up to 7,000 Dirhams from your bank account.

UAE residents can purchase a standalone visa for roughly 300 to 600 Dirhams. The overall price fluctuates based on the specific travel season and agency fees. This flexible visa gives travelers unprecedented control over their spiritual journeys. Saudi Arabia wants to aggressively dominate the global religious tourism market.
