Umrah visa checklist for Pakistani travellers

A complete Umrah file from Pakistan is more than a visa stamp. You still need a passport with at least six months’ validity, a CNIC copy, white-background photographs, biometric enrolment at an approved centre, and travel insurance that meets the current Saudi requirement.

Licensed agents process the visa. You cannot skip that step and apply as a walk-in tourist for Umrah. After the visa is issued, install Nusuk to manage permits, including Rawdah slots.

We typically see visa turnaround in 24–72 hours once biometrics and photos are clean. Build a few extra days into your plan around Eid and Ramadan.

Pack Ihram, comfortable walking sandals, a small prayer mat and any regular medicines in original packaging. Keep printed hotel vouchers and a copy of the visa in your cabin bag.
