Hajj & Umrah Visa Services Trusted Umrah Visa Support from the UK

Getting your Umrah visa sorted doesn't have to be complicated. At Bismillah Travel, we handle Saudi Ministry requirements, the Nusuk system, hotel confirmations, and transport bookings. You tell us your travel dates, and we'll take it from there.

We're based in the UK, Ministry of Hajj approved, and ATOL protected (Company Number 13555073, ATOL 12192 ). We process your Hajj and Umrah visas for British passport holders and also for UK residents with passports from other countries. No matter where you live in the UK - London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford, Leicester, or anywhere else - call us. We'll guide you through the process.

Understanding the New Umrah Visa Requirements

All Umrah visas are now subject to Nusuk approval, as well as confirmed accommodation in Makkah and transportation from Jeddah to Makkah, to be arranged before the visa is issued. Your visa and transport must also come from the same travel agency. We handle all of this as part of a single booking with Bismillah Travel.

This means that going direct or using multiple agencies has become far more complicated and risky. If your hotel booking and transport are not confirmed through the same operator, Nusuk won't approve the visa. We've seen plenty of people caught out by this. Book everything in one place and save yourself the stress.

Umrah Visa from the UK

Umrah can be performed at any time of year, except during the Hajj period. Most nationalities don't have a quota, so if you have all your paperwork and book with an approved tour operator, there should be no problem in having your visa stamped. The visa type you need depends on your passport.

As part of our service, we also offer complete Umrah packages that cover your visa, flights, accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, and all required transport, in line with Nusuk requirements, so everything is handled together without complications.

Umrah Visa Prices are set by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and can change. The figures below are approximate. Get in touch for a confirmed quote based on your specific travel dates and passport.

Hajj is a different process entirely. Visas are not available on demand. The Saudi government allocates a quota to each country, and once that's gone, it's gone until the following year.

Every UK pilgrim must book through the official Nusuk platform. Bismillah Travels is an authorised service provider on Nusuk, and we offer full Hajj packages covering the visa, flights, accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, and all ground services. If performing Hajj is your intention, speak to us as early as possible. Spaces fill up well in advance.

What You'll Need for a Hajj Visa

  • Valid passport with a minimum of 6 months' validity
  • Completed the official Hajj application form
  • Recent passport-size photographs
  • Meningitis ACWY vaccination certificate. Mandatory, taken no more than 3 years and no less than 10 days before travel
  • Non-British passport holders will need UK residency documentation
