Hajj 2027

Hajj visa and passport

You need a valid passport with plenty of time left on it and a Hajj visa, which is issued through the Nusuk system once your package is confirmed. A tourist or Umrah visa does not allow you to perform Hajj.

Last checked: November 2026. Written for pilgrims travelling from the UK.

Passport

Check the expiry date now: renewing in the UK can take weeks
Make sure your name matches exactly across Nusuk, your visa and your flights
Carry a photocopy and keep a photo on your phone

Visa

The Hajj visa is linked to your Nusuk booking. Follow your package provider's instructions and keep the visa with your passport.
