Saudi Arabia has launched a new multiple-entry Umrah visa valid for one year, allowing pilgrims to enter the Kingdom several times within a year while staying for a combined total of up to 90 days, Saudi Press Agency reported.The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced the new visa as part of efforts to make religious travel more flexible and improve services for pilgrims in line with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Pilgrim Experience Program.Under the new rules, visa holders can make multiple visits during the one-year validity period. However, the total duration of all stays cannot exceed 90 days.The ministry said pilgrims must purchase a service package through an approved provider on the Nusuk platform before each visit. The package duration must not exceed the number of days remaining on the visa.Pilgrims must also obtain an Umrah permit through the Nusuk application before arriving in Saudi Arabia.The ministry explained that the visa will automatically deactivate when a pilgrim leaves the Kingdom and reactivate only after the traveller meets the required regulations for a subsequent visit.The multiple-entry visa will remain unavailable during the Hajj season. It will not be activated from the first day of Dhu Al-Qi’dah until the 13th day of Dhu Al-Hijjah.
