Saudi Arabia introduces KSA Visa, a unified platform for easy Hajj, Umrah, tourist, business, and employment visa applications. With over 30 connected entities, this AI-powered system provides clear guidance on requirements.
The launch, following Minister Al-Rabiah’s visit to India, is timely for the expected 2 million Indian Hajj pilgrims. In line with tourism goals, the Kingdom issued 18.6 million visas in 2023, achieving 60-second digital approvals.
For Indian pilgrims, Umrah visa validity extends to 90 days, and a new four-day transit visa is introduced. Gender equality is prioritized, enhancing flexibility for solo female Umrah travelers.
Anticipating a surge in Indian Umrah pilgrims, Saudi Arabia is committed to creating a seamless experience. The Kingdom aims for 175,025 Indian pilgrims in the 2024 Hajj season.
