What Is an Umrah Visa?
An Umrah visa is a travel permit from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, issued through the Nusuk system. It lets you enter Saudi Arabia, perform Umrah, and visit Makkah and Madinah.
You can perform Umrah at any time of year, except during the days of Hajj. Your visa is sent to you by email or phone. You don't need to visit an embassy or post your passport anywhere.
Who Can Apply for an Umrah Visa from the UK?
Almost every Muslim living in the UK can apply. It depends on your passport:
- UK passport holders can apply through Nusuk or use the Saudi eVisa, which also allows Umrah and lets you stay up to 90 days.
- Non-UK passport holders living in the UK can also apply. You'll need proof that you live in the UK, such as a biometric residence permit or a valid UK visa.
- Women and children can apply without a mahram under the current Saudi rules.
Not sure if you can apply? Send us a photo of your passport and residence permit on WhatsApp. We'll check for you the same day, free of charge.
Which Documents Do You Need for an Umrah Visa?
You only need a few things:
- A passport valid for at least six months from your travel date
- A recent passport photo with a white background
- If you don't hold a UK passport: proof that you live in the UK (a biometric residence permit or valid UK visa)
- Your travel dates and hotel details
That's it. We check every application before we send it, so refusals are very rare.
