Umrah Visa Price for Pakistanis (2026-27)
The Saudi government fee for an Umrah visa is SAR 300 (about PKR 22,300), with mandatory health insurance included. Agencies in Pakistan typically charge PKR 52,000-65,000, because since June 2025 every Umrah visa must be issued with Nusuk-registered hotel and transport bookings. All our Umrah packages include the visa.

What the Umrah visa costs
Cost breakdown
Umrah visa
| Item | Who sets it | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Umrah visa fee, including mandatory health insurance | Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah | SAR 300 (≈ PKR 22,300) |
| Hotel and transport bookings registered on Nusuk Masar | Required for every Umrah visa since June 2025 | Depends on hotels and nights |
| Operator service and processing | Your Umrah agency | Varies by agency |
| Typical “visa” price from Pakistani agencies | Market range, September 2026 | PKR 52,000-65,000 |
That is why a “visa-only” offer is rarely just the visa: it has to include registered hotel and transport bookings. If you already have flights, ask us for a visa with hotels and transport; otherwise a full Umrah package is usually better value.

Umrah visa questions
01What is the Umrah visa fee for Pakistanis?
The Saudi government fee is SAR 300 (about PKR 22,300), and the mandatory health insurance is included. Because every Umrah visa must now be issued together with Nusuk-registered hotel and transport bookings, Pakistani agencies typically charge PKR 52,000-65,000 for a visa (checked September 2026).
02Can I apply for an Umrah visa myself on Nusuk?
Pakistani passport holders generally can't buy Umrah services directly on Nusuk. The visa is issued through an Umrah agency in Pakistan working with a Saudi Umrah company.
03How long is the Umrah visa valid?
You must enter Saudi Arabia within 30 days of the visa being issued, or it is cancelled. Once there, you may stay up to 90 days, limited by your booked package and this season's final departure date of 7 April 2027.
04How long does the Umrah visa take?
Usually a few working days once documents, bookings and payment are complete. Because the 30-day entry window starts when the visa is issued, flights are booked first and the visa applied for close to departure.
05When do Umrah visas stop for Hajj 2027?
The last Umrah visa of the 1448H season is issued on 9 March 2027 (Eid ul Fitr), the last entry is 23 March 2027, and all pilgrims must leave by 7 April 2027. The next season is expected to open around 20 May 2027.
06Can a woman get an Umrah visa without a mahram?
Yes. The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah allows women to perform Umrah without a mahram.
