New Umrah Visa Rule in 2026: Nusuk Framework

•       Hotel reservations in Makkah and Madinah must be confirmed via the Nusuk app before visa issuance

•       Transport from the airport to your hotel must also be pre-booked through Nusuk

•       Visa validity has been reduced to 1 month from the date of issue (you can stay up to 3 months after arrival)

Important: If your Umrah visa is issued on 1st July 2026, you must enter Saudi Arabia before 1st August 2026. After arrival, you may stay until 1st October 2026.
