The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced that registration for pilgrims inside the Kingdom is now open through the Ministry’s website and the “Nusuk application.”
The Ministry, in a press statement, said that Hajj packages for citizens and residents from inside the Kingdom have four categories at reasonable prices, including the economic package that starts from SR3984 riyals.
It cited different payment options either by paying the total amount or in three installments.
Applicants must ensure they have a valid “national identity” for citizens or a “resident identity” for residents, valid until the end of Dhul-Hijjah 1444 AH, for those wishing to perform Hajj.
In addition, the Ministry said that the minimum age for the electronic application had been set to 12 years with a priority for people who have not performed Hajj before and in case of the availability of vacant places, those who have previously performed Hajj will be included.
It added that women’s Mahram will be excluded from the priority advantage.
All applicants are also required to complete immunization with the Covid-19 and seasonal influenza vaccines, in addition to obtaining a valid vaccination certificate proving receipt of the “ACYW quadruple meningitis” vaccine, at least 10 days before arriving at the holy sites for Hajj.
The Ministry stressed that Hajj-related services are implemented through companies and institutions licensed by it to serve pilgrims within the Kingdom.
It said registration for Hajj must be done by the pilgrim himself, urging all applicants to avoid dealing with campaigns, agents or companies that are not licensed by the Ministry.
