General information

Singapore’s official Haj quota and allocation process.

Last updated 14 September 2026

Significance of Haj

Haj is the fifth pillar of Islam and a sacred obligation for all able Muslims who have the means to perform it at least once in their lifetime, provided the journey is safe. It represents a deeply significant spiritual milestone and a profound act of devotion to Allah s.w.t.

Singapore’s Haj quota

Singapore’s official Haj quota stands at 900 places, calculated at 0.1% of our Muslim population, based on the allocation formula, established by the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) in 1987. The final number of places is subject to the annual quota granted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The number of places is therefore limited and varies depending on the final allotment from the Saudi authorities.

Singapore Haj quota allocation

The Haj allocation process is conducted in stages. Applicants may first receive a Letter of Intent (LOI) to complete the required steps before eligible applicants are considered for a Letter of Offer (LOO), subject to the available Haj quota.

The allocation priority differs between the LOI and LOO stages.

At the LOI stage, priority is given to applicants with approved deferment to the current Haj season. At the LOO stage, priority for available Haj places is given to eligible applicants aged 70 and above. The remaining applicants at each stage are considered based on their registration date and time in the MyHajSG portal, from earliest to latest.

1. Letter of Intent (LOI)

For each Haj season, MUIS determines the number of applicants who will receive an LOI. This number may be higher than the available Haj quota to account for applicants who may subsequently withdraw, defer or be unable to proceed due to medical reasons.

Applicants are considered in the following order:

  • Applicants with approved deferment: Applicants who were previously allocated a Haj place and granted deferment to the current Haj season are given priority.

  • Other registered applicants: The remaining applicants are considered based on their registration date and time in the MyHajSG portal, from earliest to latest.

MUIS works through the registration list in this order until the required number of applicants for the LOI exercise is reached. This determines the registration cut-off date for the particular exercise.

Applicants selected will be notified through the MyHajSG portal and issued an LOI with instructions on the next steps.

Those allocated a place for the year will be notified through:

  • MyHajSG portal system alerts

  • SMS

  • Email

2. Completing the requirements following the LOI

Applicants who wish to proceed must complete the required Haj Medical Assessment and meet the applicable medical requirements.

Applicants who receive an eligible Haj Medical Assessment result and accept their LOI in the MyHajSG portal will proceed to the next stage of the Haj allocation process.

3. Letter of Offer (LOO)

Eligible applicants who have completed the required steps will be considered for a Haj place, subject to the available Haj quota.

Applicants are considered in the following order:

  • Applicants aged 70 and above: Eligible applicants aged 70 and above are given priority for the issuance of an LOO.

  • Other eligible applicants: The remaining eligible applicants are considered based on their registration date and time in the MyHajSG portal, from earliest to latest.

Applicants who are allocated a Haj place will be issued an LOO through the MyHajSG portal.

4. Waiting List

Eligible applicants who are not allocated a Haj place due to quota limitations will be placed on the Waiting List.

Applicants on the Waiting List may be considered for allocation if a Haj place becomes available due to cancellation, withdrawal, deferment or other circumstances, up to the applicable deadline for Haj visa processing.

Allocation from the Waiting List will be made according to the established allocation priority and sequence.

5. Fair and consistent allocation

To ensure a fair, consistent and transparent allocation process, MUIS does not accept appeals or requests for expedited or early Haj allocation through any channel.

All applicants are considered according to the established allocation priorities and their registration records in the MyHajSG portal. No applicant will be given priority outside the established allocation process.
