Planning your Umrah has never been easier with the Wego Umrah eVisa platform. No visits to travel agents, no embassy appointments, no hassle of coordinating everything offline.
Why book your Umrah with Wego instead of through an agent
Planning Umrah the traditional way comes with a familiar set of frustrations, and booking online with Wego quietly solves them one by one.
All of it runs on a platform built in official partnership with the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, so the freedom to choose comes with the reassurance of an official channel.
| Planning your Umrah | Through a traditional agent | Online with Wego |
|---|---|---|
| Choosing your trip | You see only the packages one agent chooses to sell you | Compare flights, hotels, and packages side by side, then pick your own |
| Matching your budget | Fixed bundles, often costing more than you wanted to spend | Options from basic to premium, built around what you want to spend |
| When you can book | Office hours and in-person visits, on someone else’s schedule | Browse and pay from your phone at any hour, then save your progress and finish later |
| Your eVisa | Paperwork handed over, then waiting for updates second-hand | A guided application submitted for you, with the approved eVisa emailed once issued |
| Knowing it is legitimate | Hard to verify the operator or how your permit is arranged | Official partner of the Ministry with licensed operators |
| The final price | On-ground extras and surprise charges along the way | Your full price shown upfront, with no surprises later |
What you’ll need before you start
Only a few things, and most travellers already have them. Get these ready and the application takes minutes.
- A passport valid for at least six months from your arrival date.
- A digital, passport-style photo.
- Proof of the MenACWY meningitis vaccine, which the CDC confirms is required for all Umrah pilgrims, given at least 10 days before you travel.
Any Muslim aged 18 or older can perform Umrah, and women are permitted to travel independently without a male guardian.
How to plan your Umrah on Wego: step by step
Step 1: Open Umrah from the app homepage
Open the Wego app and tap the Umrah option on the home screen, right alongside Flights and Hotels. This opens the Umrah landing page.
Step 2: Enter your departure city, travel dates, and number of passengers
Choose the airport you will fly from. You can search by city or tap “Use current location” to let the app find your nearest airport.
Pick an exact date, or switch to “Flexible month” if your plans are still open. The app shows which months are available and reminds you that Umrah bookings pause during the Hajj season.
Set how many travellers are going, split into adults, children, and infants. Then tap search to see your Umrah package options.
Step 3: Compare and select a package
Browse the packages by tier, each showing the price, hotel, number of nights, and flights. When one fits your budget and dates, tap “Select This Package”.
Step 4: Enter your personal details
Select your nationality and country of residence, then tap “Check Eligibility”. The app confirms in seconds whether packages are available for your passport before you enter anything else.
Fill in all your personal details exactly as they appear in your passport, along with your contact details.
Then, work through a short set of yes-or-no questions covering your passport status, health, and required vaccinations.
Step 5: Confirm or edit your trip details
Review the flight details and the hotel stay included in your package. Some tiers cover Makkah only, while others add a Madinah stay, usually with a transfer between the two cities.
At this stage, you can still change your flight schedules, airlines, and your hotel selection, and you can browse hotels in Makkah separately to see the going rate.
Step 6: Upload important documents
Upload images of your passport main page, a passport-style photo, and your MenACWY meningitis vaccine document.
Step 7: Review and complete payment
Check your final summary and total, then tap “Complete Your Payment”. If you need a hand, the same screen lists email, WhatsApp, and phone support, available 24/7.
Step 8: Receive your visa
Once payment is confirmed, your request goes to the Saudi authorities for issuance and your booking is linked to your Nusuk permit. Your approved eVisa is emailed to you, with no embassy queue and no agency visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Wego issue my Umrah visa directly?
No. Wego facilitates and submits your visa request digitally, but the visa itself is issued by the relevant authorities in Saudi Arabia.
Do I still need a Nusuk permit if I book through Wego?
Yes, a Nusuk permit is mandatory for every pilgrim in 2026. Booking through Wego links your verified accommodation to your permit automatically.
