Umrah visas can also be issued directly through the unified national visa platform, via the link: https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said that all pilgrims are required to book an appointment for Umrah through the “Eatmarna” app. In order to keep the appointment, they will have to arrive in the kingdom no less than 6 hours before the scheduled time. In the event of flight delays, the appointment is automatically cancelled.
