Riyadh, August 20 (QNA) - The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has officially launched the "Nusuk Umrah" service, a major step that enables pilgrims from outside the Kingdom to apply directly for an Umrah visa and book related services, without the need for intermediaries.

Accessible via the Nusuk Umrah platform (https://umrah.nusuk.sa), this service offers a new option for international pilgrims alongside existing choices such as certified agents in their home countries, who can also be identified through the same platform.

The service allows pilgrims to complete all procedures electronically, from application to visa issuance, while offering a wide range of packages and services tailored to diverse needs and preferences. (QNA)
