HERE IS HOW WE INDIANS CAN PERFORM UMRAH

Saudi Arabia bans direct entry for Umrah from India, eight other countries

Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has banned the direct entry of expatriates for Umrah from nine countries facing travel bans unless they spend two weeks in a third country after leaving these countries, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Sunday.

All countries are allowed to send direct flights except for nine countries: India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, and Lebanon, which require a quarantine of 14 days in a third country before arriving in the Kingdom.

Saudi Arabia on July 25 announced the resumption of Umrah service for pilgrims worldwide from 1st Muharram 1443 (August 10, 2021), following a successful Hajj season.

“The Grand Mosque is ready to receive pilgrims and worshippers for Umrah,” said the deputy head of the affairs of the Grand Mosque, Saad bin Muhammad al-Muhaimid.

Beginning from July 25, Umrah agencies have been authorized to issue Visas for Umrah for entry beginning from 1st Muharram 1443 (10 August 2021).

About 500 companies and establishments for Umrah services and more than 6000 foreign Umrah agents have been prepared to receive vaccinated foreign Umrah pilgrims.

Aspiring pilgrims can book Umrah packages and make all payments through about 30 websites and electronic platforms available for global bookings, Saudi Gazette quoted Hani Ali Al Amiri, a member of the National Committee for Hajj and Umrah.
