Hajj Permits Are a Must
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah says you need a permit to go to Hajj this year. You can get this permit through the Nusuk platform. Remember, no visa allows you to perform Hajj without this permit. Following these rules is very important for your safety and a good experience.
Online Social Media Scams
The ministry warns people about scams on social media. Some ads promise fake accommodation and transportation at holy sites. Be careful and do not believe everything you see online.
Report Suspicious Activities
If you see something suspicious:
- Call 911 if you are in Makkah, Riyadh, or the Eastern Province.
- If you are in another area, call 999.
- You can also tell local authorities in your country if you see misleading ads.
Important Dates for Hajj
- April 29 is the last day for Umrah visa holders to leave.
- Hajj rules start on April 23.
- Anyone trying to enter Makkah must have a valid permit.
- If you are a resident without a permit, you might not be allowed to enter the city.
Strict Entry Checks
The General Directorate of Public Security says they will check permits carefully. If you do not have a work entry permit, a Makkah resident ID, or an official Hajj permit, you will be turned away.
How to Get Your Permit
For residents working during Hajj, entry permits are available online. You can get them through the Absher Individuals platform and the Muqeem portal. These systems work together with the digital Hajj permit platform.
Conclusion:
If you want to go to Hajj, make sure you get your permit from the Nusuk platform. Stay safe by avoiding scams and reporting any suspicious activities. Remember the important dates and ensure you have the correct permits to enjoy a smooth Hajj experience.
