Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has specified April 13 as the final date for Umrah entry to Saudi Arabia, according to Arab News.
The ministry also designated April 29 as the final date for Umrah pilgrims to depart the Kingdom in order to intensify the Kingdom’s preparations ahead of Hajj 2025.
As a result, those who will overstay beyond the specified deadlines will face statutory penalties. In this context, the ministry advised pilgrims and Umrah companies to abide by regulations and instructions.
Companies will have to pay an up to SR100,000 fine if they did not report those pilgrims who stay at the Kingdom after the end of their residency period.
The authorities also advised all Hajj-related companies and establishments to strongly adhere to the Kingdom’s Hajj and Umrah regulations and instructions.
According to the statement, fines can reach up to SR100,000, and they vary depending on the number of pilgrims and Umrah performers who violate their departure dates.
