Umrah is currently not possible for those residing in the United Kingdom. Countries such as Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia and a few others have been given permission to start entering Saudi Arabia for the purpose of pilgrimage but we do not foresee United Kingdom being allowed to enter till at least Feb/March 2021 and that too based on the current Pandemic situation.
We have tried to answer many of the common questions being posed regarding Umrah and hope this helps to identify the current rules regarding Umrah pilgrimage.
I live in the UK, can I perform Umrah?
No – Umrah and Tourist visas are currently restricted from entering Saudi Arabia.
What are the age restrictions once Umrah opens?
Only travelers between the ages of 18 and 49 will be allowed to travel.
Can I travel alone as I have done in the past or just me and my family?
No. You must now travel with a group and have a fully booked package.
What is the minimum size of the group?
The group must consist of a minimum of 50 people.
Will we all be quarantined upon arrival?
Yes – a 3 day mandatory quarantine would be required for every group that arrives in to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Is a PCR test required?
Yes – you must hold a negative PCR test for Saudi Arabia taken up to 72 hours before arrival.
What is the maximum I can stay in KSA once Umrah does open?
At the moment we are advised that you will only be able to stay a maximum of 10 days. This includes your 3 day isolation.
What precautions are the authorities taking regarding transport?
A maximum of 25 hujjaj would be allowed on a 50 seater bus.
Can my family all stay in 1 room or suite
No – a maximum of 2 people to a room has been advised.
Will I be able to visit the holy mosques at my own convenience?
No – your group will be given a time slot of when you can perform tawaf. Daily prayers can be read without the need for registration (subject to change).
Do you recommend going for Umrah?
As a sharia responsibility, obviously there are great rewards for performing the minor pilgrimage but as a company providing a service, we do not currenly recommend you to make plans as the current restrictions are very stringent. It would not make much sense to go and then not be able to perform your ibadah to your hearts’ content. This is a personal view of the writer and not in conjuction with any islamic ruling.
Asslamu alaykum, a small query, have the restrictions for umrah in 2021 changed or are they still the same as before and if they are same as before when are they likely to change.
Thank you for your time.
Walaikum salaam,
Umrah is cancelled for the foreseeable future or atleast for this year.
Check with us after Hajj for more updates.
Having said that anything can change as we are aware that the Saudi authorities also want hujjaj back as soon as possible.

I am serving with UN in Central Africa with definitely special heath precautions focussing on Covid. Question 1: I have a Blue Official passport? Will I be allowed to perform Umrah on Blue passport & is there any requirement of visa?
Question 2: Or do I have to obtain Visa from my Country (Pakistan) for myself & family (Green passport).
Hi
UN travel documents are not exempt from visa requirements.
You need to apply from your country of normal residency.

I have extended cousin and she is divorced. She wanted to perform Umrah with her 14 years old daughter…
is it possible if she applies for Visit visa..?
Is saudi open for Umrah from india…?
Please do reply..
Thanks & Regards…
Hi
All females under 45 are required to be accompanied by a male to perform Umrah.
If she is above 45 she can travel alone but her 14 year old daughter will need a mahram in order to travel.
If you are able to arrange a visit visa authorisation for both then YES, both can travel under the visit visa category.
In order to arrange a visit visa, you must first get a family member in Saudi Arabia to send you an official invite from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs aka MOFA.

jazaka Alahu xairan

Iraq is one of the few countries that are allowed to perform Umrah even now whilst much of the world remains restricted.
Our understanding is that the age restriction would apply but would suggest you contacting an Iraqi Umrah provider for your own specific rules.

Assalamu Aalikum, Is umrah open for Pakistani Muslims?
Hi
Umrah is open for many countries including Pakistan but the requirements are so stringent that no Umrah Operator is taking a group.
You must travel with a group of a minimum of 50 people. All pilgrims must be 18-50. You must have PCR test certificate on arrival and then quarantine for 3 days in a government-appointed hotel. You can stay a maximum of 10 days and cannot change your schedule at all. If a single person of the group is deemed to be ill or contracts Covid – the entire group will be restricted. Attendance to the 2 holy mosques will be based on the Eatmarna App slot bookings for the entire group.
See full details here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j5hcONDUeo&t=21s
Based on the above, no group would like to go through so much hassle and even if hujjaj were prepared to face the constraints, a single person falling ill would undermine the entire group.
Check with local agents in your city who can guide you better but agents in the UK are restricted through a travel ban and not because of the hardships involved.

I am from Canada, currently in Jordan. I have both vaccines and health insurance. Can I apply for a umrah visa alone? If through a group, does it have to be Jordanian or Canadian? If not, does a family visit visa exclude Umrah?
Jazakallahu khayr for your patience with all of our questions, it is very helpful in reducing the uncertainty and anxiety around it all.
Hi
No – you cannot apply for an Umrah visa alone. You must accompany a group of a minimum of 25-50 people.
If you wish too join a Jordanian group then you must be resident of Jordan.
You can join a Canadian group anytime as you state you are Canadian.
A family visit does not allow Umrah but we are aware that many people do use it for this purpose albeit we cannot recommend this action.

I am travelling to umrah with my wife and my son age 20 middle of Dec. Can three of us stay in 1 room or there is any restriction only 2 people in one room?
Hi
Yes – at the moment there must be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 2 people to a room. If you are travelling alone then you will still be charged for a 2 person room.

Is there any limitation that only 2 people in one room in the hotel at Makkah? My agent told me that is the rule now. Please verify. Thank you
