Hajj Visa via Nusuk

The Hajj visa is strictly for Hajj - not for Umrah or tourism. The visa and the Nusuk Hajj permit work together.

Quick Answer

How does a Pakistani pilgrim obtain the Hajj visa?

For Pakistanis, the Hajj visa is issued through Nusuk either via MoRA's official scheme or a licensed private HGO. The typical order: MoRA registration and balloting to fee payment to medical and vaccinations to biometrics to Nusuk account and Hajj permit to the Hajj visa is issued on your passport. The Hajj visa is valid only for the Hajj window, and access to the holy sites is authorised via the Nusuk permit QR.
