Makkah al Mukarramah: The Saudi Ministry of Haj and Umrah has revealed the schedule of Umrah 1447 AH along with the date when visa issuance will start for the post Hajj 2025 Umrah.

Visa for post-Hajj Umrah normally starts on Muharram 01 which coincides with the start of the New Islamic Year.

Interestingly, 14th Dhul Hijjah is the last day of the Hajj ritual which starts on 9th Dhul Hijjah 1446 AH.

According to the official account of the Emirate of Makkah Al-Mukarramah, the deadline for Umrah companies and foreign agents is May 27, 2025 i.e. 29th Dhul Qadah 1446 AH.

While announcing the Umrah season calendar for the year 1447 AH, the Saudi Ministry of Haj and Umrah said the announcement is a part of its preparations to serve pilgrims and visitors to the Prophet's Mosque coming from outside the Kingdom with Umrah visas.

During the Second Umrah and Ziyarah Forum (UZF 2025) held in Madinah in April, Minister of Haj and Umrah Dr Tawfiq Al-Rabiah revealed that over 6.5 million international pilgrims performed Umrah in the first quarter of 2025 marking an 11% year-on-year increase.

Umrah is a voluntary pilgrimage to Makkah which can be performed any time of the year. This is unlike Hajj which is performed once in a year and during the month of Dhul Hujjah.

Also, Hajj – one of the five pillars of Islam, is mandatory and compulsory for Muslims, men and women both, who can afford travel cost.
