Getting your Umrah visa is simpler than most people expect — once you know exactly what to prepare. Here is the full checklist for pilgrims applying from Pakistan, plus the common mistakes to avoid.
- Passport valid for at least 6 months
- Recent white-background photographs
- CNIC copy (Form-B for children)
- Meningitis & required vaccinations
- Confirmed flight & hotel booking
- Mahram proof for women (per Saudi rules)
Passport and photographs
Your passport must have at least six months’ validity from your travel date and a few blank pages. Photographs should be recent, in colour, with a plain white background as per Saudi specifications.
Vaccinations
A meningitis (ACWY) vaccination certificate is required, and you should check for any seasonal requirements at the time of travel. Keep the original certificate with your documents.
For women and children
Women travelling for Umrah may require mahram documentation depending on age and current Saudi regulations. For children, a birth certificate or Form-B and parent documents are needed.
