Nusuk Hajj Permit
Without the permit, the gates to the holy sites do not open. The QR is your access authorisation.
How do I get the Nusuk Hajj permit, and why is it mandatory?
The Saudi government requires a Nusuk-issued Hajj permit to enter the holy sites (Haram, Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifah). Your MoRA scheme or licensed HGO links your registration, package, and Mashair services to Nusuk, after which the Hajj permit appears in your account. Download the QR in the Nusuk app - it is scanned at every gate. No permit means no entry.
