GCC Citizens Can Perform Umrah Any Time via Nusuk App
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced that citizens of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are now permitted to perform Umrah at any time of the year. As part of this new arrangement, Umrah permits must be obtained through the official Nusuk mobile application, which serves as the central platform for managing pilgrimage-related services.
The initiative is part of ongoing efforts to simplify procedures and enhance accessibility for GCC pilgrims. In addition to citizens, residents of GCC countries holding any valid visa type may also perform Umrah under the updated guidelines.
Those intending to visit Al-Rawdah Al-Sharif in the Prophet's Mosque are required to schedule an appointment through the Nusuk app as well.
