Umrah document checklist

Tick items as you gather them. Switch the traveller type to see extra items for women, children and elderly pilgrims. Progress is saved on this device.

Before the visa is applied for

The licensed operator needs the passport copy, photo and vaccination certificate first; the Nusuk hotel contract is confirmed before the visa application because Saudi Arabia does not issue an Umrah visa without it (rule since June 2025). Applications can take from a few days to two weeks in peak season, so send documents early.

Frequently asked questions

Is the polio card really checked?

Yes. Travellers departing Pakistan are required to carry proof of oral polio vaccination taken within the last 12 months; airport health counters issue it.

How early should vaccination be done?

Meningitis ACWY at least 10 days before departure and valid for the certificate period; many pilgrims do it 3–4 weeks ahead alongside the polio drops.

Can SafirAvia prepare the digital photo?

Yes, from a clear phone photo against a white wall; we format it to the Saudi specification for the application.
