Makkah Entery & Umrah Visa Opening Date Announced - Hajj Ministry Orders | Mecca Permit Situation

Saudi Arabia is expected to gradually ease Hajj season entry restrictions after May 31, 2026, allowing international Umrah pilgrims to travel to Makkah again with valid visas and permits. During the Hajj season, strict crowd-control measures remain in place around Makkah and the holy sites, including permit checks and temporary travel limitations. After the Hajj operations conclude, Umrah visa services, hotel bookings, transport systems, and pilgrimage travel arrangements are expected to return to normal operations. Authorities may still maintain checkpoints and verification systems for some time, while access to Makkah continues to require proper documentation and approved visas. This update is important for overseas pilgrims planning Umrah travel after the Hajj 2026 season, especially visitors from Pakistan and other Muslim countries preparing for upcoming pilgrimage arrangements. #SaudiArabia #Makkah #Umrah #Hajj2026 #EidAlAdha #IslamicNews #SaudiNews #Pilgrimage #MuslimWorld #TravelUpdate #MakkahUpdate #UmrahVisa #HajjNews #MiddleEastNews #IslamicUpdate
