Visa Information

How the Umrah visa process generally works for eligible UK passport holders.

The usual routes

UK travellers generally reach Umrah through one of three routes: a Saudi tourist eVisa where it is valid for Umrah, a dedicated Umrah visa arranged through the Nusuk platform, or a visa arranged for you as part of a package by a licensed Umrah agency.

Visa arrangements are included in our standard packages for eligible UK passport holders, and we confirm eligibility based on each traveller's individual circumstances.

What we usually need from you

Typically a valid passport, a recent photograph and basic traveller details for each member of your party. We will tell you exactly what is required for your specific booking.

Seasonal restrictions

Around the Hajj season the Saudi authorities apply entry and exit windows for Umrah visas, and these dates change every year. If you plan to travel close to Hajj, please speak to us early so we can check the position for your dates.

Rules for visas, permits and vaccinations are reviewed regularly by the Saudi authorities, so please treat this as general background and confirm the current position on GOV.UK, the official Saudi visa portal and the Nusuk app before you book. We will also confirm the latest requirements with you when you enquire.
