Nusuk Permit Mandatory for All Hajj Pilgrims, Saudi Arabia Warns

 

By Fatima Dayyab Usman 

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has emphasized that obtaining a permit through the Nusuk platform is a must for all individuals intending to perform Hajj this year. The platform is integrated with the unified Tasreeh system for issuing official permits.

The ministry warned that no type of visa grants the right to perform Hajj and stressed the importance of full compliance with regulations to ensure pilgrims' safety and a smooth Hajj experience.

It also cautioned against fraudulent activities and deceptive Hajj campaign advertisements on social media that falsely promise accommodation and transportation within the holy sites. The ministry urged the public to report suspicious activities by calling 911 in Makkah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, or 999 in other areas of the Kingdom.

Additionally, the General Directorate of Public Security announced that Hajj regulations will begin on April 23, and all residents intending to enter Makkah must obtain a valid entry permit from the relevant authorities. Those without a permit will be denied entry at security checkpoints.

The directorate emphasized that Hajj procedures will be strictly enforced, and vehicles and residents without a work entry permit, a Makkah resident ID, or an official Hajj permit will be turned back. Entry permits for residents working during Hajj are issued electronically via the Absher Individuals platform and the Muqeem portal.
