According to the new rules, the issuance of visas for pilgrims will cease on March 19. This decision is related to the kingdom's preparations for the mandatory pilgrimage — Hajj.
For those planning to visit the country in the coming months, clear dates have been established. The last day for foreign pilgrims wishing to perform Umrah is April 2. All pilgrims must leave the territory of Saudi Arabia no later than April 18.
In addition, the authorities warn of strict penalties for violations of the visa regime. Staying in the country beyond the established period may lead to serious consequences, including significant fines, deportation, and a ban on re-entry to Saudi Arabia for an extended period.
