Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah launched today, Aug. 20, the "Nusuk Umrah" service to enable international pilgrims to directly apply for an Umrah visa and book services related to their trip, without intermediaries.

The service is available through the platform https://umrah.nusuk.sa/.

The new service caters to those wishing to perform Umrah from outside the Kingdom. It provides a range of options such as accredited agents in the pilgrims' country, which can be found through the "Nusuk Umrah" platform, SPA reported.

Pilgrims can choose from integrated packages or standalone services, including visas, accommodation, transportation, tours, and support services.

Packages can be tailored to the needs and preferences, using an e-platform enabled by a modern user interface that supports seven languages and integrates with relevant government systems, to ensure a unified and seamless digital experience.

Multiple payment options are also offered to suit various segments, enabling pilgrims to complete all procedures electronically, from application to obtaining the entry visa.

This is besides providing a variety of experience and service options to meet different needs, ensuring a seamless and enriching travel.
