Individual Umrah Visa Processing Assistance

Visa assistance without a land-package booking

Already have your hotels or travel dates arranged? Submit an individual visa-assistance inquiry with your passport nationality, country of residence and intended travel dates. This is assistance with understanding the process; it is not an official government application portal or a promise that a visa can be issued.

What does processing assistance involve?

Ask which application route applies, what information may be required, what the assistance covers and which official fees or third-party charges are separate. No visa price is published here. The current route, eligibility and any seasonal restrictions must be checked before an application is prepared.

Keep your documents secure

Do not send passport numbers, scans or payment information through the public inquiry form. Begin with general circumstances. If documents are needed later, agree on a secure submission process and review how the information will be handled.

Eligibility comes before an application

Visa assistance means help understanding the application route and preparing information. It does not guarantee eligibility, issuance, entry or religious permits. Saudi authorities make those decisions.

What to check first

Check the passport nationality you will travel on, country of residence, proposed dates and any qualifying visa or residency status through official Saudi channels. Do not assume that holding a US visa or living in the United States automatically makes you eligible.

Prepare your information securely

For an initial inquiry, share nationality and country of residence only. Do not upload passport scans, passport numbers or financial documents through this website’s inquiry form. Any necessary documents should use an agreed secure process.

Official information

Check the official Saudi eVisa portal and Nusuk for current requirements. Rules and seasonal restrictions can change. This assistance is for Umrah travel to Saudi Arabia, not an application for a US visa.

More planning guidance

US citizens, green card holders and most visa holders are eligible for an Umrah visa. When you book a package with us, we manage the complete application — no consulate visits, no extra fees, no paperwork confusion.

We submit your Umrah visa application to the Saudi visa authority and track it through to approval. We update you at each stage via WhatsApp.

Once approved — typically within 3–7 business days — we send you your visa documentation. You are cleared to travel. No consulate visits needed.

US citizens Valid US passport required. Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your return travel date.

US green card holders (permanent residents) Apply using your national passport plus your US green card. Both must be currently valid. We confirm the exact documents required for your nationality.

H1B, F1 and other US visa holders Generally eligible to perform Umrah. Requirements can vary slightly by country of origin. Contact us on WhatsApp to confirm your specific eligibility before booking.

Women of all ages travelling without a mahram Saudi Arabia now permits women to perform Umrah without a male guardian when travelling with a licensed group tour operator. All our packages satisfy this requirement.

Passport copy Clear scan of the photo page. Must show at least 6 months of validity beyond your return date. If your passport expires sooner, renew before applying.

Passport-style photograph White background, full face visible, no glasses, taken within the last 6 months. A digital photo sent via WhatsApp is fine.

Meningitis vaccination certificate (ACYW-135) Mandatory for all Umrah pilgrims entering Saudi Arabia. Must be administered at least 10 days before your arrival date. The physical certificate is checked at the Saudi border.

US green card (if applicable) Required for permanent residents applying on a non-US national passport. Must be currently valid.

Saudi Arabia requires proof of the meningococcal ACYW-135 vaccine for every Umrah pilgrim. This is a hard entry requirement — you will not be permitted to enter Saudi Arabia without a valid vaccination certificate.

Ask for Menactra or Menveo — both are accepted. Keep the physical paper certificate as the Saudi border checks the document, not a phone screenshot.

Passport copy, passport photo and vaccination certificate sent to us via WhatsApp or email.

We verify your documents are complete and correct, then submit your application to the Saudi visa authority.

The Saudi authority processes your application. We track progress and update you if anything is needed.

You receive your Umrah visa confirmation. You are cleared to travel to Makkah and Madinah.

⏱ Ramadan bookings: Processing demand is significantly higher during Ramadan. Submit your documents at least 4–6 weeks before travel. We strongly recommend booking 5–6 months ahead for any Ramadan package.

The Umrah visa process from the USA is straightforward when you work with a licensed tour operator. As a US citizen or resident, you are fully eligible to perform Umrah at any time of year outside the specific days of Hajj. The Saudi government issues Umrah visas year-round, and there is no quota system for Umrah the way there is for Hajj.

The most important thing to know is that you cannot obtain an Umrah visa independently — the Saudi government requires all pilgrims to have a confirmed package with an authorised operator before a visa is issued. This ensures every pilgrim arriving in Makkah has accommodation, flights and ground support in place.

Umrah visas are typically issued for a specific travel window aligned to your booked itinerary. They are not multi-entry or long-stay visas — they correspond to your travel dates and the duration of your package. If you wish to extend your stay in Saudi Arabia, this needs to be arranged through your tour operator before you travel.
