Application notes
- The qualifying UK, US, or Schengen visa must have been used at least once with a visible entry/exit stamp; unused visas do not qualify
- Women aged 18+ may perform Umrah without a mahram when travelling with an approved group; family groups should still carry relationship proof (MRC/FRC) as operators may request it
- Travel insurance is bundled within the visa fee and generated automatically — it is not a separate self-purchase for the operator route
- Since June 2025, visa-only Umrah applications are rejected: your operator must link confirmed Nusuk-approved accommodation, transport, and a Booking Reference Number (BRN) before visa issuance
- Pakistani passport holders cannot apply for Umrah visas directly on Nusuk — applications must go through a MoRA-attested licensed operator via Nusuk Masar
- Book hotels independently (Booking.com, Agoda, etc.) — no Nusuk package required on this route, but you must use the Nusuk app to reserve Umrah and Rawdah time slots after visa activation
- Departing from Pakistan: NADRA polio certificate is mandatory; Visa on Arrival generally requires flying Saudia, Flynas, or Flyadeal — other airlines may deny boarding without a pre-printed eVisa
- Since Feb 2025, this tourist visa is single-entry with a maximum 30-day stay for Pakistani passport holders — not a 1-year multiple-entry visa
