Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has introduced new regulations for the Umrah visa, which has reduced the validity period of the entry visa from three months to one month from the date of issuance. In a report by Saudi Gazette, it was said that the amendments will take effect from next week and are intended to enhance visa management and thereby regulate the growing number of tourists visiting the Kingdom.

Will Umrah Visas be cancelled?

According to the new policy, there is a major condition for using the Umrah visas. These will be cancelled in all cases 30 days after issuance if the holder does not register within these 30 to enter Saudi Arabia. But this does not apply to a tourist once they are in the Kingdom, they are permitted stay for three months, the ministry said.
