Frequently Asked Questions
This usually comes down to the type of visa, how it's applied for, and the extra services included. A short 15-day visa applied directly can be cheaper, while an eVisa or agent-assisted visa may include insurance, processing support, or faster approvals, which increases the final price.
The base visa fee is set by the Saudi authorities, but agencies can add service charges for document handling, bookings, and processing. That's why prices vary slightly between providers even when the visa type is the same.
For eVisas, travel insurance is usually included in the total cost automatically. For traditional visas through agents, insurance may be optional or added separately, so it's always worth checking what's included before paying.
No, visa durations generally cannot be upgraded once issued. If your plans change, you will need to apply for a new visa. That's why it's better to choose the duration carefully based on your trip flexibility.
In most cases, Umrah visa costs are similar for both adults and children. However, total travel costs may differ due to flights, accommodation, and package pricing rather than the visa itself.
The eVisa includes additional built-in services such as mandatory insurance and faster processing through an online system. It also offers more flexibility, like multiple entries, which is why the price is slightly higher.
Yes, you can. Even if your trip is only 1–2 weeks, you can still use a 90-day eVisa. However, you're paying for flexibility you may not fully use, so it's better for people who want open travel plans.
The official visa fee usually stays the same, but overall costs can feel higher during peak seasons due to increased demand, faster processing needs, and higher service charges from agents.
Applying alone can be cheaper for just the visa, but Umrah packages often combine flights, hotels, and visa services at discounted rates. So overall, packages can sometimes save more money.
In most cases, visa fees are non-refundable once processed. If rejection happens due to incorrect details or missing documents, you may need to pay again for reapplication. That's why accuracy is very important.
Traditional Umrah visas are usually single-entry. However, the eVisa (tourist visa) allows multiple entries within its validity period, which gives more flexibility for travel.
Yes, slightly. Since visa fees are set in Saudi Riyals, the final price in GBP can change depending on exchange rates at the time of payment. The difference is small but noticeable sometimes.
