Saudi Arabia now permits year-round Umrah pilgrimages for Gulf citizens and residents from UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar, streamlining access through the Nusuk application. This initiative, part of Vision 2030, aims to boost religious tourism by offering multiple visa options, including Umrah, transit, and tourist visas. Over 190,000 international Umrah visas have been issued since the last Hajj season.
