Every step, in the right order, with nothing missed.
Quick Answer
How does a Pakistani perform Umrah?
A Pakistani pilgrim prepares a passport and documents, books an Umrah package with a MoRA-approved operator, creates a Nusuk account and obtains an Umrah visa, secures Umrah and Rawdah permits on Nusuk, enters ihram before Miqat, and performs Tawaf, Sa'i, and Halq/Taqsir at Masjid al-Haram - all before returning home.

Key FactAn Umrah visa is generally valid for 90 days from issue and permits a stay of up to 90 days from entry into Saudi Arabia - a Nusuk permit is still required separately to enter the Haram.
Frequently asked questions
Do Pakistanis need a visa for Umrah?
Yes. Pakistanis apply for an Umrah visa via Nusuk directly or through a MoRA-licensed Umrah operator.
Does the Umrah visa let me enter the Haram?
The visa lets you enter Saudi Arabia, but a separate Nusuk permit is required to enter Masjid al-Haram and the Rawdah in Madinah.
When is the best time to perform Umrah?
Umrah can be performed year-round. Ramadan carries the greatest reward but is also the busiest season; off-peak months offer a calmer experience.
How long is a typical Umrah trip?
Most Pakistan packages run 10-14 days and cover both Makkah and Madinah, with the exact split depending on the operator and flight schedule.
