How to apply for a Hajj visa from outside Saudi Arabia?
To apply for a Hajj visa, the applicants can apply through travel agents authorized by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah or through the government of their country. Foreign pilgrims who want to perform Hajj must get a Hajj visa only, except those who are residing in Saudi Arabia on residence visas; however, they also need to get a permit to perform Hajj through the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.
What is the processing time of the Hajj visa?
Hajj e-visas can be issued online within 2 hours of time, and occasionally they can be issued within 5 days. It is not possible to extend a Hajj visa; holders of such visas should leave the Kingdom before it expires. It is advised to check your Saudi Hajj visa information to get rid of overstays and penalties.
