Pilgrims wishing to travel for Umrah through Umrah packages from UK<\/strong><\/a> and the rest of the countries were required to apply for an Umrah visa through the channel of a certified travel agent. In other words, umrah visas weren\u2019t issued to the pilgrims on an individual basis. However, under the Saudi Vision 2030 plan, a lot of policies were renewed and now travellers can also register for an Umrah e-visa through the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Hajj and Umrah\u2019s digital app. Therefore, minimizing the reliance on Umrah travel agencies for pilgrims and streamlining the process with fast and efficient service.<\/p>\n

Umrah e-visas are issued for the pilgrims throughout the year as the minor pilgrimage can be performed any time of the year. However, the days of hajj are excluded in this regard.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the Umrah e-visa through the digital app.<\/p>\n

Umrah E-visa through digital App<\/strong><\/p>\n

Travelling for Umrah requires pilgrims to obtain a visa prior to their arrival in the kingdom. They can either get an Umrah visa through the channel of an authorized travel agency or can also apply for it through their e-services with the help of a digital visa app.<\/p>\n

You just need to enter your biometric information into the App, and an e-visa will be issued upon approval for you to embark on the spiritual journey. The Digital Visa App for Umrah was developed in alliance with;<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.
