All you need to travel is a valid visa and a permit from the Nusuk app, and you’re all good to perform Umrah and your prayers at the Grand Mosque. You will also need a special permit to pray in Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah.
Previously, you would need a special Umrah visa whose validity lasts three months to travel to Makkah. The visa allowed pilgrims to enter Saudi Arabia via Riyadh or Jeddah and travel to Makkah.
You can perform Umrah on all visas, including:
- Personal and Family Visit Visas
- Transit/Stopover Visas
- Work Visas
- Tourist eVisas
- And all other visas too
For a more seamless journey, you should visit the Nusuk platform, select a package that’s suitable for you, and get your Umrah visa ASAP.
