Questions
How do I apply for an Umrah visa from India?
Apply on the Nusuk platform with a passport valid six months beyond arrival, a white-background photograph, confirmed hotel and return flight bookings, and a meningitis ACWY certificate. Approval takes 24 to 72 hours and the fee is about 14,500 rupees including mandatory insurance.
Do I need an agent for an Umrah visa?
No. Nusuk is designed for direct applications and the government fee is fixed at about 14,500 rupees. Agents charging 25,000 to 35,000 rupees are adding a negotiable service charge.
How long is an Umrah visa valid?
Ninety days from the date of issue, with a permitted stay of up to 30 days from entry. It is single entry, so leaving and re-entering requires a new visa.
What is the most common reason for rejection?
A photograph that fails the white-background or face-proportion requirement. A standard Indian passport photo is usually too zoomed out. Almost every rejection is a document formatting error rather than an eligibility problem.
