As of 2025–2026, Indian passport holders cannot apply for an Umrah visa directly through Nusuk. You must travel with a Saudi-authorised, licensed Umrah agent who handles the Nusuk-compliant visa, accommodation and transport on your behalf. We are licensed and manage the entire process for you.

A passport valid for at least six months, recent photographs, and any vaccination certificates required at the time of travel. We confirm the exact, up-to-date checklist for your group before booking.
