Umrah Visas & Nusuk: What Changed and How to Apply

Saudi Arabia has modernized the entire pilgrimage journey through the Nusuk platform. Here is a practical summary.

Who Needs an Umrah Visa?

Citizens of many countries can now perform Umrah on a tourist eVisa; others still require the dedicated Umrah visa arranged through a licensed operator like Ittastours.

Typical Documents

• Passport valid for at least six months.
• A recent photo with a white background.
• Proof of vaccination as per current health requirements.
• For women and family groups: no mahram is required anymore for most nationalities.

Processing Times

Allow 3–10 business days in normal periods, and longer before Ramadan. Booking early is the single best way to avoid stress.
