When you perform pilgrimage

Re: When you perform pilgrimage

@hareem01

The hajj visas are issued from middle of shawal…every hajji must leave before 10th of Muharram.

I don’t think you can move about other cities. Let me ask my friend and will confirm with you.

JazakAllah Khair for that information, and thank you in advance for asking your friend. It’s much appreciated. The reason I asked that was because on some websites it says that Umrah visa is typically valid for 30 days, but it doesn’t mean you can stay for 30 days, and most operators that organize everything for you get you a two week stay. So just wanted some clarification on that. And if that’s also the case with Hajj visas. (Actual validity vs. what you’ll actually end up getting)

@OYMWA

I was in Saudi in 2003 on Umrah visa and was told I cannot travel outside Jeddah, Makkah and Madina. I wanted to visit extended family in Riyadh and Dammam. You need separate paperwork for it. Not sure if it has changed now.

JazakAllah Khair. I was thinking from the same aspect, like if you want to visit others or just go sightseeing, etc.

@LP

No you can’t visit other cities on Umrah/Hajj visa.

JazakAllah Khair.

Is it then possible to have two visas simultaneously, or one after the other? I’m not even sure if that’s allowed.

Thank you all for your feedback. I’m sorry, I realize some of these are petty questions.
