An Umrah visa from Pakistan is applied for through an approved travel agency rather than directly. This page sets out what you need and how the process runs.

Documents you will need

Passport valid for at least six months beyond travel, with blank pages
Recent photographs to the required specification
CNIC copy
Vaccination records as required by the Saudi authorities at the time of travel
Confirmed flight and hotel bookings, which the agency arranges

Requirements change. Confirm the current list with your agency before assembling documents — this is the single most common cause of avoidable delay.

Processing time

Straightforward applications are typically processed within days once complete. Delays almost always come from incomplete paperwork or a passport too close to expiry rather than from the authorities.

Women travelling for Umrah

Rules regarding mahram requirements have changed in recent years and continue to be updated. Because this affects eligibility directly, confirm the current position with your agency before booking rather than relying on older guidance online.

Why applications get refused

A visa is granted at the discretion of the Saudi authorities. The common causes are an expiring passport, a mismatch between the passport and application details, or incomplete documentation. A refusal does not refund costs already incurred, which is why accuracy at submission matters.
