1448 AH season update (June 2026): The new Umrah season is now open. Umrah visa issuance resumed on 31 May 2026 and pilgrim entry to Makkah began 1 June 2026, following the conclusion of Hajj 1447 AH.
How to Check Umrah Visa Status on the MOFA Portal
The MOFA Visa Platform (visa.mofa.gov.sa) is the primary official tool for checking Umrah Visa status. It works for visas submitted through authorized travel agents and Saudi missions abroad.
The portal lets you search using any two of the following identifiers, plus your nationality and a captcha:
- Visa number
- Passport number
- Application number
- Ministry of Hajj reference number
- First name
Follow the steps below to check your Umrah visa status on the MOFA portal:
- Go to the MOFA Visa Platform.
- Select your first search field and your second search field from the dropdowns.
- Enter the corresponding values for each field.
- Choose your nationality.
- Enter the captcha code shown on screen.
- Click Inquire (Search).
If your visa is approved, the portal displays the full visa document, which you can save or print. Wait at least 72 hours after your agent submits the application before checking.
How to Check Umrah Visa Status on Nusuk
If you applied through the Nusuk platform, your visa status is tracked within your Nusuk account. This applies to pilgrims from countries where Nusuk accepts direct individual applications.
Follow the steps below to check your Umrah visa status on Nusuk:
- Log in at umrah.nusuk.sa.
- Go to My Applications or My Bookings.
- View your status alongside your package and permit details.
- Once the status shows Approved, download the document directly from the platform.
Nusuk account verification typically takes 24 to 48 hours, and longer during peak season. Nusuk registration is mandatory for all Umrah pilgrims in 2026 regardless of visa type.
Without a confirmed Nusuk-linked booking and Umrah permit, you cannot perform Umrah even with a valid visa. This applies to tourist-visa holders as well.
How to Check Umrah Visa Status via the KSA Visa Portal
Saudi Arabia’s unified KSA Visa platform (ksavisa.sa) also supports Umrah visa status checks. The MOFA website now directs users to this portal for visa services.
Follow the steps below to check your Umrah visa status on the KSA Visa Portal:
- Visit ksavisa.sa and click Track Application.
- Enter your visa number as the application (order) number and your passport number as the ID number.
- Complete the captcha and click Enquiry.
- The system shows your name and visa type; click View for the full document.
Understanding Your Umrah Visa Status
Each portal returns one of a handful of standard statuses. The table below explains what each means and what to do next.
| Status | What It Means | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Approved / Issued | Your visa has been granted and the document is available. | Download and print the visa, then confirm your Nusuk booking and Umrah permit. |
| Pending / Under Review | Your application is still being processed. | Wait and check again after 24 to 72 hours; no action needed yet. |
| Rejected | Your application was declined. | Contact your travel agent or the Saudi mission to understand the reason and reapply. |
| No Record Found | The system cannot locate an application with your details. | Recheck your details, allow up to 48 hours, then contact your agent or MOFA support. |
What to Do If Your Status Shows “No Record Found”
A “No Record Found” result is usually not a rejection. It most often means the application has not been registered in the system yet.
Common reasons include:
- Agent hasn’t uploaded it: your travel agent has not yet submitted the application to MOFA.
- Typo in your details: a mistake in the passport, visa, or application number.
- Wrong platform: you are checking on a portal that does not hold your application type.
- Submitted very recently: applications filed under 24 hours ago may not yet appear.
Double-check every detail and try again. If the issue persists after 48 hours, contact your travel agent or call MOFA support at 920011114.
Important Timelines for the 1448 AH Umrah Season
The 1448 AH Umrah season is now open as of June 2026. The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah confirmed the season reopened after Hajj 1447 AH (Arafat Day was 26 May 2026, Eid al-Adha 27 May 2026).
Keep these official 1448 AH dates and rules in mind:
- Season opening: Umrah visa issuance resumed on 31 May 2026, with pilgrim entry to Makkah and Umrah permits via Nusuk beginning 1 June 2026.
- Visa issuance deadline: 9 March 2027 is the final date to issue an Umrah visa for the 1448 AH season.
- Final entry deadline: 23 March 2027 is the last date for pilgrims to enter the Kingdom.
- Final departure date: 7 April 2027 is the last date for pilgrims to leave the Kingdom.
- Visa validity: the Umrah visa is valid for 30 days from issuance to enter Saudi Arabia; once inside you may stay up to 90 days.
For those using a Saudi tourist visa for Umrah, the visa remains valid for one year with multiple entries. You still need a confirmed Nusuk booking and Umrah permit to access the holy sites.
Planning ahead? Compare flights to Madinah and browse hotels in Madinah alongside your Makkah arrangements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I check my Umrah visa status with just my passport number?
Not on its own for the MOFA portal. The MOFA platform requires any two identifiers (such as passport number plus visa or application number), while the KSA Visa portal lets you track using your passport number together with the application/order number.
How long does Umrah visa processing take?
Typically 24 to 72 hours. Processing can take longer during peak periods such as Ramadan; wait at least 72 hours after submission before assuming there is a problem.
Can I print my Umrah visa from the MOFA portal?
Yes. Once your status shows Approved, the MOFA portal displays the full visa document, which you can save and print directly from the page.
Are the visa check portals available in English?
Yes. The MOFA Visa Platform, the KSA Visa portal, and Nusuk all offer an English interface, with a language switch usually at the top of the page.
