UMRAH VISA FROM UAE
Living in the UAE does not by itself decide which Saudi visa route you should use for Umrah. Start with your nationality, UAE residency status, passport validity, travel date and whether you already hold a Saudi visa. We’ll use those details to separate the dedicated Umrah visa route from other Saudi visa options that can legally support an Umrah trip.

UAE UMRAH VISA ENQUIRY
This enquiry is only for travellers applying from the UAE. Phone number, email address and total travellers are required. Nationality, UAE residency, passport expiry and intended travel date help us identify the visa route worth checking first.
Required: phone number, email address and total travellers. Everything else is optional, but nationality and passport details make the first response much more useful.
START WITH THE VISA ROUTE, NOT THE LABEL
The best route depends on your passport and current status, not simply on the fact that you live in the UAE. These are the three situations we separate first so you do not pay for or apply through the wrong path.
Saudi Arabia’s official Umrah Visa e-service lets beneficiaries outside the Kingdom submit an Umrah visa application, add travel and accommodation information, arrange medical insurance, pay the required fees and track the application.
The official Saudi tourist eVisa is nationality-based. For eligible passport holders it permits tourism and Umrah, but not Hajj. We keep this route separate from the dedicated Umrah visa so you can compare the correct fees and validity.
Tell us the visa type and expiry before starting a new application. Nusuk currently offers packages without visa for eligible travellers and visa holders, but the visa you intend to use still needs to be valid for your dates and permitted activity.
UAE RESIDENCY IS ONLY ONE PART OF THE CHECK
Before we recommend a route, we separate four facts that change the answer. This is where many UAE-based travellers save time: we decide what needs checking before an application is started.
Official Saudi Umrah Visa service ↗Official Saudi tourist eVisa portal ↗Saudi Arabia’s tourist eVisa portal publishes a list of eligible nationalities. UAE residence does not replace that nationality check, so send us the passport nationality first.
PREPARE THE DOCUMENTS THAT ACTUALLY AFFECT THE APPLICATION
The exact list changes by visa route. These are the pieces of information that repeatedly matter across the current official Saudi application flows, with route-specific items kept separate instead of presented as one universal checklist.
Use the passport you will travel with. The Saudi tourist eVisa terms require at least six months’ validity at entry and require you to arrive using the same passport used for the eVisa.
For the official tourist eVisa portal, the published photo specification is 200 × 200 pixels, 5–100 KB, recent, face centred and against a plain white background.
Keep your UAE residence status and expiry available. It helps identify which route is worth checking, but it should not be presented as automatic eVisa eligibility.
The dedicated Umrah visa service asks for travel information. Your intended Saudi arrival date also lets us check passport validity and whether an existing visa covers the trip.
The official dedicated Umrah visa process includes travel and accommodation information, so tell us whether your Makkah and Madinah stay is already booked or still needs arranging.
The dedicated Umrah visa process includes issuing or adding medical insurance before payment and submission. Tourist eVisa fees also include insurance-related digital service charges plus the selected insurance provider’s fee.
Names, passport number, nationality and dates should match the travel document exactly. Small data mismatches can delay or disrupt an application.
The official Umrah visa process directs travellers to issue the Umrah permit through Nusuk after visa approval and before travel.
CURRENT VISA COSTS, KEPT IN THE RIGHT CATEGORY
A single headline ‘Umrah visa price’ can be misleading because Saudi visa routes have different government charges and insurance components. We keep the dedicated Umrah visa, tourist eVisa and Orbit Sky’s multiple-entry selling option separate.
Saudi Arabia’s National Platform currently lists the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Umrah Visa e-service at SAR 300 and an official service duration of 3 workdays.
For eligible applicants, the KSA Visa platform currently publishes an US$80 visa fee, US$10.50 visa digital-services fee and US$10.50 insurance digital-services fee. The selected insurance provider’s charge is additional.
This is the current selling price supplied for Orbit Sky’s Saudi multiple-entry visa option. We still check whether that route is appropriate for your nationality, UAE status and intended trip before taking payment.
Government fees, insurance charges and eligibility can change. Orbit Sky’s AED 750 multiple-entry figure is a selling price supplied for this website; official Saudi platform figures are shown separately so you can see what each amount refers to.
TIMING STARTS AFTER THE RIGHT ROUTE IS CHOSEN
Published service times are useful for planning, but they are not a reason to leave the visa until the last minute. Missing data, route changes, insurance, external verification or a rejected application can extend the real timeline.

Passport details, nationality, photo and travel information should be correct before payment.
The official Umrah visa flow continues with the Umrah permit through Nusuk.
FROM UAE DETAILS TO A SAUDI VISA DECISION
We keep the process in the order that reduces wasted applications: identify the route first, prepare route-specific information, submit through the correct Saudi platform and only then move to the final Umrah travel steps.
Tell us which passport you hold and whether you are a UAE resident, citizen or visitor.
Separate dedicated Umrah visa, tourist eVisa eligibility, existing Saudi visa and the multiple-entry option.
Match the information exactly to the passport and the route you are using.
Do not mix government charges, insurance fees and Orbit Sky selling prices into one number.
Use the application status tools on the relevant Saudi platform and wait for approval.
After the visa route is approved, complete the Nusuk permit and current health requirements for your travel date.
THE VISA NAME DOES NOT TELL YOU THE WHOLE VALIDITY
Use the validity printed on the visa you actually receive. Tourist eVisa rules are published clearly, while dedicated Umrah visa travellers should rely on the dates and conditions on their issued visa rather than assuming the tourist-visa rules apply.
The official Saudi tourist eVisa is generally multiple entry and valid for one year from issuance, unless the specific eVisa states otherwise.
The official tourist eVisa permits a maximum stay of three months and allows Umrah but not Hajj.
The tourist eVisa terms require entry with the same passport used for the eVisa application.
Travel within the validity period shown on the approved Umrah visa and complete the current permit and entry requirements.
THE VISA IS NOT THE LAST STEP
Once your visa route is clear, there are still travel requirements to finish before you leave the UAE. Treat the visa, Umrah permit, health requirements and travel arrangements as connected parts of the same journey.
Saudi Arabia’s official permit service allows visitors to issue an Umrah permit through Nusuk. Do not treat visa approval as the end of the process.
Saudi Ministry of Health publishes current Umrah health requirements and recommendations. The applicable requirements can depend on the traveller’s origin, age and health-risk category.
A visa approval does not correct a flight booked outside the permitted dates. Keep the issued visa, permit and confirmed travel itinerary aligned.
MOST VISA PROBLEMS START BEFORE SUBMISSION
We would rather catch these issues before you pay. They are practical reasons a UAE-based application can become slower, more expensive or simply use the wrong route.
Tourist eVisa eligibility is not decided by UAE residence alone. Nationality and the current Saudi rules have to be checked first.
Names, passport number, nationality and expiry should be entered exactly as they appear on the travel document.
For the tourist eVisa portal, size, dimensions, recent appearance and white background are all part of the published photo specification.
Applying again without checking a current visa can create unnecessary cost and confusion. Tell us what you already hold first.
Fixed, non-refundable travel can leave very little room if approval takes longer than the published service time or the route changes.
Visa approval is only one part of the Umrah journey. Complete the current permit and health checks before travelling.
UAE UMRAH VISA QUESTIONS
These answers are written for travellers starting the Saudi visa process while they are in the UAE.
Start by identifying the Saudi visa route that matches your nationality and current status. The official dedicated Umrah Visa service is accessed through the KSA Visa platform, where the process includes personal and passport details, documents, travel and accommodation information, medical insurance, fee payment, submission and tracking. After approval, the official flow directs you to obtain the Umrah permit through Nusuk.
Saudi Arabia’s National Platform currently lists the dedicated Umrah Visa e-service cost at SAR 300. A tourist eVisa, when eligible, has different published fee components: US$80 visa fee, US$10.50 visa digital-services fee and US$10.50 insurance digital-services fee, plus the selected insurance provider’s fee. Orbit Sky’s current selling price for its Saudi multiple-entry visa option is AED 750. These are different products and should not be treated as one interchangeable price.
The official Saudi Umrah Visa service currently lists 3 workdays. The KSA Visa tourism route lists processing from 1 minute to 3 business days. These are published service times, not a guarantee that every case finishes within that window, especially if information is missing or another verification is required.
Some can, but UAE residence alone is not the deciding factor. The official tourist eVisa is available under Saudi eligibility rules that include nationality. If your passport is eligible, the tourist eVisa permits Umrah but not Hajj. If it is not, another Saudi visa route may need to be considered.
For the dedicated Umrah visa route, the official process includes passport and personal information, required documents, travel and accommodation details, medical insurance and payment. For a tourist eVisa, passport and photo requirements are published separately. UAE residence details may also be relevant depending on the route being checked.
For the official Saudi tourist eVisa, the published terms require the passport to be valid for at least six months at the time of entry. For a dedicated Umrah visa or another route, confirm the current route-specific rule before submission.
Yes. The official Saudi tourist eVisa permits tourism activities including Umrah, but it does not permit Hajj. You still need to complete the current Umrah permit and health requirements applicable to your trip.
The official dedicated Umrah visa process includes issuing or adding medical insurance. The tourist eVisa fee structure also includes an insurance digital-services fee, while the selected insurance provider’s charge is additional.
The official Saudi Umrah Visa service directs travellers to issue the Umrah permit through Nusuk after visa approval. Saudi Arabia also provides an electronic Umrah permit service through the Nusuk platform and app.
Tell us the visa type and expiry before applying again. Nusuk currently offers packages without visa for eligible travellers and visa holders, but the visa you plan to use still needs to be valid for your travel dates and suitable for the activity you intend to perform.
START WITH YOUR STATUS, NOT A RANDOM APPLICATION
We’ll use those details to identify the Saudi visa route worth checking first, explain the current cost structure and tell you what information is still needed before you submit.
