Saudi Umrah Visa Information

If you're planning to perform Umrah, you'll need the correct visa before travelling to Saudi Arabia. At Ayat Tour UK, we guide our customers through the visa process and help make the application as simple as possible.

Depending on your nationality and travel plans, there are different types of Saudi visas available.

Types of Saudi Visas

Saudi Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW)

The Saudi Electronic Visa Waiver is available to eligible British passport holders. It is valid for 180 days from the date of issue and allows a single stay of up to 90 days. With this visa, you can travel throughout Saudi Arabia, including for Umrah.

Saudi Tourist Visa

The Saudi Tourist Visa is valid for one year and allows multiple entries. Each visit can last up to 90 days. It allows you to travel across Saudi Arabia and perform Umrah outside the Hajj season.

Saudi Umrah Visa

The Saudi Umrah Visa is specifically for pilgrims travelling to perform Umrah. It must be arranged through an approved travel agency such as Ayat Tour UK. This visa normally allows a stay of up to 90 days and is intended for travel to Makkah, Madinah, and Jeddah.

Documents Needed for a Saudi Umrah Visa

To apply for an Umrah Visa, you will usually need:

• A passport with at least six months' validity.
• A completed visa application.
• A recent passport-sized photograph with a white or light-coloured background.
• Confirmed hotel booking.
• Confirmed return flight booking.
• Any additional documents requested by the Saudi authorities.

If your name does not clearly indicate that you are Muslim, you may be asked to provide a certificate from your local mosque or Islamic centre confirming your faith.
