Re: Saudi embassy at Tehran on fire
As far as I know … (from my knowledge and understanding … if I am wrong, please correct me):
Hajj visa is not like normal visiting visa. There is quota for all Muslim countries, as well as India and some non-Muslim countries, for Hajj and Umrah visa, according to their Muslim population. So, each country gets Hajj visa quota and sends people from their country on that Hajj visa quota.
For instance, if you want to go to Hajj from Pakistan, you apply to Pakistan government (not Saudi government) for Hajj visa. Similarly, Iranians going to Hajj would be applying to Iranian government for visa, not Saudi government.
It is different when one goes from non-Muslim countries that have no quota (like USA, Canada, Europe or UK), as then one have to apply to Saudi embassy for Hajj visa.
Well, that is according to what I know
