Do Pakistani citizens need a visa for Umrah?
eVisa or Umrah visaPakistani citizens can perform Umrah two ways. If you hold a valid residence permit or visa from the US, UK or Schengen area, you may qualify for the Saudi tourist eVisa and perform Umrah on it. Otherwise, Pakistani citizens travel on a dedicated Umrah visa arranged through an approved agent. VisitsVisa checks which route fits your situation and handles the paperwork either way.
Umrah visa guide for Pakistani citizens
There are two Umrah routes for Pakistani citizens. Travellers who hold a valid US, UK or Schengen residence permit or visa are usually eligible for the Saudi tourist eVisa, which can be used for Umrah outside the Hajj season. Everyone else applies for a dedicated Umrah visa through an approved travel agent.
