Saudi Arabia Urges Pilgrims to Exit Kingdom Before Hajj Visa Expiry

The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has issued a strict advisory to all Hajj pilgrims, urging them to leave the Kingdom before the expiration of their Hajj visas.

In a public announcement on Tuesday, the ministry emphasized that overstaying the Hajj visa violates Saudi Arabia’s immigration laws and could result in penalties, deportation, or future bans on entry into the country.

Saudi authorities have reiterated their commitment to ensuring the safety, security, and smooth exit of all pilgrims after the completion of Hajj rites. They are also collaborating with various national Hajj missions to monitor compliance and provide support for timely departures.

Pilgrims have been advised to confirm their return travel plans and check with their tour operators or relevant authorities to avoid any last-minute complications.
