The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced the launch of the multi-entry Umrah visa, which allows beneficiaries to enter Saudi Arabia multiple times during its validity period of 365 days from the date of issuance.

The total duration of stay is set to reach 90 days during the visa validity period. The available stay is calculated cumulatively from the total of 90 days, based on the number of days the Umrah performer remains in the Kingdom during each visit, allowing them to use the visa for multiple visits throughout its validity, in accordance with the approved regulatory controls.

The ministry clarified that using the visa requires purchasing a service package from one of the authorized service providers in the 'Nusuk' system for each visit, provided that the package duration does not exceed the remaining available days on the visa.

Entry into the Kingdom under this visa is linked to obtaining an Umrah permit through the 'Nusuk' application before arrival, aligning the permit date with the approved package dates, in addition to meeting travel and entry eligibility requirements.

The visa status is deactivated after each departure from the Kingdom, and will be reactivated for the next visit after fulfilling the regulatory requirements. It is not activated for entry during the Hajj season, from the 1st of Dhul Qa'dah to the 13th of Dhul Hijjah.
