Who Can Perform Umrah?

Umrah is a deeply significant pilgrimage for Muslims, often seen as a cherished goal to achieve at least once in a lifetime. To embark on this spiritual journey, certain prerequisites must be met to ensure a fulfilling experience. First and foremost, the individual must be a practicing Muslim. Additionally, those eligible should have a clear understanding of the Umrah rituals and their significance, ideally having reached the age of discernment (sin at-tamiyz). While children can accompany adults, their performance of Umrah will only be recognized once they attain this age.

Financial stability and physical readiness are also essential to comfortably undertake the pilgrimage. Before selecting a suitable Umrah package, pilgrims should ensure they meet these basic criteria to make the most of their sacred journey.

Requirements to Perform Umrah

When applying for affordable Umrah packages through Book Cheapest Umrah, prospective pilgrims should be aware of certain requirements, often referred to as admissibility standards. Key documents include a renewed and valid passport, a recent medical check-up along with a medical certificate, and UK emergency travel documents if applicable. Passport-sized photographs are also necessary, and visa applications will be processed by our dedicated Hajj and Umrah visa service team. Non-UK passport holders must demonstrate their permanent residency in the UK. Additionally, children traveling with parents need their own passports and visas, or they must be included on the parents’ passport with a signed photograph by an authorized official.

All-Inclusive Umrah Packages

At Book Cheapest Umrah, we pride ourselves on offering comprehensive Umrah packages that cater to every aspect of your journey. From securing the best visas to arranging flights and choosing hotels near the Haram, we handle it all. Our experienced team is dedicated to customizing packages based on client preferences, ensuring a seamless travel experience. Our clients can choose from a range of hotels, flights, and other services to suit their individual needs.

For those interested in extending their stay, we provide both visit and Umrah visas. Visit visas allow for travel to multiple cities within Saudi Arabia and can be valid for up to 90 days, whereas Umrah visas are specifically for Makkah and Medina, with a validity of 28 days. Our goal is to make your pilgrimage as smooth and enriching as possible, with assistance readily available through our online chat or contact numbers.

Visit Visa / Umrah Visa

At Book Cheapest Umrah, we provide two types of visas for pilgrims traveling from the UK: the Visit Visa and the Umrah Visa. The Visit Visa allows you to explore multiple cities in Saudi Arabia, making your journey a broader experience. In contrast, the Umrah Visa is strictly for the holy cities of Makkah and Medina.

The Visit Visa permits a stay of up to 90 days and allows multiple entries within 12 months, while the Umrah Visa is valid for 28 days and requires entry within 14 days of issuance. We assist with both types of visas as part of our Umrah packages.
