Saudi Arabia has officially introduced a new one-year multiple-entry Umrah visa, allowing eligible pilgrims to visit the Kingdom several times within a 12-month period. Under the new policy, travelers can make multiple entries, while the total cumulative stay cannot exceed 90 days per year. The visa is intended exclusively for Umrah and cannot be used during the Hajj season. Additionally, travelers are required to book an approved Nusuk package for each Umrah visit.
Estimated Cost from Pakistan
Although the Saudi authorities have announced the visa, the final package prices may vary depending on the travel agency and season. Based on current travel costs, the estimated expenses are:
- Visa Fee: Approximately SAR 300–500 (around PKR 22,000–37,000)
- Return Air Ticket: Approximately SAR 900–1,800 (around PKR 67,000–135,000), depending on the departure city and travel season.
- Visa + Air Ticket: Estimated between PKR 90,000 and PKR 170,000.
- Complete Umrah Package (including hotel, transport, and Nusuk services): Typically ranges from PKR 150,000 to PKR 300,000 or more, depending on accommodation and travel dates.
How to Apply from Pakistan
Applicants should have a passport valid for at least six months and submit their application through an authorized Saudi Umrah travel agency or an approved online platform. They will need to provide the required documents, select an approved Nusuk Umrah package, and complete the visa application process. Once the visa is issued, travelers can book their flights and perform Umrah according to the visa conditions.
Note: The estimates above are based on current market prices and available information. Actual visa fees, airfare, and Umrah package costs may vary depending on the travel season, airline, hotel category, and the travel agency you choose.
