Visa Status & Eligibility

No visa exemption. Pakistani passport holders require a visa for all visits to Saudi Arabia

Visa exemption

No visa exemption. Pakistani passport holders require a visa for all visits to Saudi Arabia

Application notes

  • Pakistan's Hajj quota is split between the Government Hajj Scheme and Private Hajj Scheme (authorized operators listed on mora.gov.pk / hgo.hajjinfo.org)
  • Hajj requires a dedicated Hajj visa or official Hajj permit (Tasreeh) — performing Hajj on a tourist eVisa, Visa on Arrival, or standard Umrah visa is prohibited and carries fines, deportation, and entry bans
  • Departing from Pakistan: carry your NADRA polio certificate — airlines and immigration enforce this for all Pakistan-origin departures
  • 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
  • Apply via the official channel: visa.visitsaudi.com
