Visa Costs: Umrah visa prices aren’t fixed and could change. This is because the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah sets, regulates, and amends visa prices as it sees fit.
Pakistani National Quota System: A quota system has been imposed by the Saudi government for Pakistani passport holders. This literally means that only a certain number of visas are assigned to Pakistan each year. As soon as the quota is completed, further visas cannot be issued until the next allocation.
Booking Advice: With these amendments, we recommend that Hajj and Umrah pilgrims book their Umrah packages 2026 sooner rather than later. The probability of obtaining a visa within the available quota is higher with early booking.
Please note: All visa issuance is subject to Saudi Government approval, and visas are priced based on a combination of current market prices and demand.
