An Umrah visa is required for anyone travelling to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah. For UK residents the process is straightforward when handled through an approved agent, and the requirements are consistent.
Passport requirements
- A valid passport with at least six months remaining from your date of return.
- A minimum of two blank pages.
- Non-British passport holders must show proof of UK residency, a work permit or a student visa.
Documents you will usually need
- Completed visa application details.
- Two passport-size photographs with a white background.
- A marriage certificate if travelling as a couple, or a birth certificate for children travelling with a parent.
How the application works
When you book a package with an approved agent, you submit your passport and documents and the agent handles the Saudi visa processing on your behalf. This removes the paperwork and reduces the risk of errors that cause delays.
Do women need a Mahram?
Saudi Arabia has lifted the requirement for a male guardian (Mahram) for women performing Umrah. Many women still prefer to travel as part of a group for support and convenience.
