Mandate by Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) 2025/1446H
Official Haj Visa is a legal requirement to perform Haj.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) emphasised that Haj can only be accessed through an official Haj visa granted by the relevant Saudi authorities in coordination with Haj Affairs offices in 80 countries or through 'Nusuk Hajj', which offers direct reservations for pilgrims from more than 126 countries.
The Ministry clarified that no type of visa allows its holder to perform Haj except the official Haj visa, and that attempting to perform Haj without a permit is a violation of Haj rules and regulations.
It also warned against fraud and scams involving fake Haj programs which are promoted through misleading advertisements on social media offering accommodations and transportations within the holy sites.
