Saudi Arabia has introduced a one-year multiple-entry visa for Umrah pilgrims, allowing them to travel to the kingdom as many times as they wish within a single year on one visa.
Under the new visa category, pilgrims will be permitted to enter Saudi Arabia multiple times over a 365-day period starting from the date of issue. The visa allows a cumulative stay of up to 90 days across all visits during its validity period.
Officials clarified that the visa cannot be used for entry into Saudi Arabia during the Hajj season, restricting its use strictly to Umrah travel outside that period.
The move is expected to make repeat pilgrimages significantly easier for Umrah visitors, eliminating the need to apply for a fresh visa each time they wish to travel.
