Spiritual Retreat: 2 Nights 3 Days Umrah Package

All Muslim residents of the UAE, including citizens and expatriates, are eligible to apply for an Umrah visa. Applicants must have a valid UAE residence visa and passport. Women under the age of 45 must be accompanied by a Mahram (male guardian), while women over 45 can travel without a Mahram if they are in a group.

The documents required to apply for an Umrah visa include:

• A valid passport with at least 6 months of validity.
• Two recent passport-sized photos with a white background.
• A completed Umrah visa application form (usually provided by the travel agency).
• Proof of vaccination for Meningococcal Meningitis (ACWY).
• A confirmed round-trip flight ticket to Saudi Arabia.
• Proof of accommodation in Saudi Arabia.
• A valid UAE residence visa.

The processing time for an Umrah visa can vary, but it generally takes between 3 to 10 business days. However, it is advisable to apply well in advance of your intended travel dates to avoid any delays.

An Umrah visa is typically valid for 30 days from the date of issue. However, you are usually allowed to stay in Saudi Arabia for a maximum of 14 days during this period. It’s important to complete your Umrah rituals within this timeframe and return to the UAE before the visa expires.

The Umrah visa primarily allows travel to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. However, some visas may permit travel to other cities like Jeddah for entry and exit. It is advisable to check the specific conditions of your visa with your travel agency.

Yes, it is mandatory to have the Meningococcal Meningitis (ACWY) vaccination before applying for an Umrah visa. The vaccination certificate must be included in your visa application. Additionally, it’s important to stay updated on any other vaccination requirements, especially in light of COVID-19 or other health concerns.

No, Umrah visas cannot be extended. You must leave Saudi Arabia before the visa expires. Overstaying your visa can result in fines, detention, or other legal consequences.

No, the Umrah visa is specifically for performing Umrah. If you wish to perform Hajj, you must apply for a Hajj visa, which is issued separately and has different requirements.

There is no specific age limit for obtaining an Umrah visa. However, children and elderly pilgrims may require additional documentation and arrangements, such as being accompanied by a legal guardian (for children) or providing medical clearance (for the elderly).
