Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Haj and Umrah has introduced a new multiple-entry Umrah visa valid for one year, allowing pilgrims to enter the kingdom several times with a cumulative stay of up to 90 days annually. Each visit requires the purchase of a service package through the Nusuk platform (a Saudi government digital portal listing approved Umrah travel packages) and the issuance of a permit via the same app before arrival, with the visa deactivated upon each departure and reactivated for subsequent visits upon meeting the required conditions. The visa will not be available during the Haj pilgrimage season, but the move is significant given that nearly 43 million pilgrims performed Umrah in 2025, reflecting Saudi Arabia's growing ambitions to expand religious tourism.
