Registration for Hajj 2027 from Pakistan opened on 22 June 2026, months earlier than pilgrims might expect based on past cycles. It is being run under Pakistan’s first-ever four-year Hajj Policy and Plan (2027–2030), approved by the Federal Cabinet on 7 July 2026.
Hajj 2027 (1448 AH) is expected to fall between 14 and 19 May 2027, with the Day of Arafah on 15 May and Eid al-Adha on 16 May. These dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar and remain subject to official moon-sighting confirmation closer to the time.
Hajj 2027 registration from Pakistan
Pre-registration for Hajj 2027 is open now through Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs & Interfaith Harmony, and it is free of charge. Pilgrims register online at the Ministry’s Hajj portal (hajj.mora.gov.pk) or via hajjinfo.org, and no payment is collected at this stage.
This is a one-time registration: once completed, it stays valid for any Hajj year up to 2030, rather than requiring pilgrims to re-register annually. The Ministry uses it to build a priority waiting list ahead of each season’s formal application round.
- Register online now at the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ Hajj portal or hajj.mora.gov.pk using your original CNIC; a passport is not required to pre-register.
- A valid, machine-readable Pakistani passport becomes mandatory once you proceed to book a scheme, with validity through at least 16 November 2027.
- Overseas Pakistanis intending to perform Hajj must register using their Pakistani passport, not a foreign one.
- Registration is processed on a first-come, first-served basis, and applies to both the government and private Hajj schemes alike.
- Once registered, pilgrims will later choose between the government-sponsored scheme and a licensed private Hajj Group Organiser when formal applications open.
Pakistan’s first four-year Hajj policy: what’s changed for 2027–2030
The Hajj Policy and Plan 2027–2030 marks a structural break from Pakistan’s usual annual policy cycle. It bundles registration, financing, and quality-control reforms into a single four-year framework running through the 2030 season.
- Registration now carries forward across years up to 2030 instead of resetting annually, feeding a standing priority waiting list.
- Separate quotas will be set for the government and private Hajj schemes, each offering both long-stay and short-stay package options.
- A new Shariah-compliant Hajj savings scheme is being introduced so intending pilgrims can save toward a future Hajj in instalments.
- Payments, complaints handling, and monitoring across the whole Hajj operation are being digitised.
- Pilgrim training, Takaful (Islamic insurance) coverage, and emergency-response arrangements become mandatory parts of the scheme.
- Hajj Moavineen (pilgrim assistants) will be appointed on merit through a transparent process, with independent third-party validation of services under both the government and private schemes.
What’s still pending for Hajj 2027
As of 14 July 2026, Pakistan has not yet announced the specific Hajj 2027 quota split, package prices, or the formal application deadline. Those details are expected with the detailed Hajj Policy 2027 document later in the year, following the pattern of the 2026 cycle, when formal applications opened in August after mid-year mandatory registration.
Because 2027 is the first year of the new four-year framework, this timeline could shift. Intending pilgrims should treat the current phase as pre-registration only and watch for the Ministry’s formal policy announcement before expecting quota or pricing news.

- Complete free pre-registration now through the Ministry of Religious Affairs portal or the official Hajj information site at hajjinfo.org.
- Watch for the full Hajj Policy 2027 announcement, which will confirm the quota split, package prices, and formal application deadline.
- Registration and (later) formal applications can also be processed through State Bank–designated banks such as National Bank of Pakistan, HBL, UBL, MCB, Allied Bank, Bank of Punjab, Bank Alfalah, Faysal Bank, Askari Bank, Bank Al-Habib, Habib Metropolitan Bank, Soneri Bank, Meezan Bank, or BankIslami, once the government scheme opens for bookings.
- Be prepared for a computerised ballot under the government scheme; private operators continue to allocate seats on a first-come, first-served basis.
