Umrah Visa for Pakistanis

The Umrah visa is your door to Saudi Arabia - but it is not by itself entry to the Haram.

Quick Answer

How does a Pakistani get an Umrah visa?

Pakistanis apply for the Umrah visa via a MoRA-licensed operator or the Nusuk online platform. Once issued, register on Nusuk and reserve an Umrah permit before entering the Haram. The visa is usable within 90 days of issue and many nationalities can stay up to 90 days inside Saudi Arabia.

  1. 1

    Prepare your documents

    Passport (6+ months), CNIC, photos, meningitis vaccination card, and flight/hotel booking proof.

  2. 2

    Apply via operator or Nusuk

    A MoRA-licensed operator is the easiest route. Alternatively, use Nusuk's 'Umrah Visa' option directly online.

  3. 3

    Pay and receive the visa stamp

    The visa is issued as an e-visa PDF or passport stamp. Print it and save it on your phone.

  4. 4

    Link to your Nusuk account

    Use the same email/mobile as on the visa form so Nusuk links your account and visa automatically.

  5. 5

    Secure the permit before the Haram

    Before departure or on arrival, reserve an Umrah permit on Nusuk. Even with a visa, the permit is required.

Common mistakes & troubleshooting

  • !Buying a visa from unlicensed agents - high risk of fraud.
  • !Using different emails on visa and Nusuk - they won't link.
  • !Heading to the Haram on visa alone without a permit - you'll be turned away at the gate.
  • !Overstaying the visa - leads to fines and future travel bans.

Official action - leave Nidaul Khaleel and continue on the government portal.
