Saudi Arabia has started issuing a new one-year multiple-entry Umrah visa, allowing eligible pilgrims to visit the Kingdom several times within a 12-month period.
According to the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, the visa remains valid for one year, while holders may stay in Saudi Arabia for a cumulative total of up to 90 days during its validity. The 90-day allowance can be used in a single visit or across multiple trips.
The ministry said pilgrims must purchase an approved service package through the Nusuk platform for each visit and obtain an Umrah permit via the Nusuk application before travelling.
The new visa cannot be used during the Hajj season and is intended solely for Umrah. Saudi authorities say the initiative is aimed at providing greater flexibility for pilgrims and supporting religious tourism under the Kingdom’s ongoing reforms.
