Keeping Children Safe

First, Saudi Arabia has made an important decision: children will not be allowed to join the pilgrims this year. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah made this change to protect little ones from the dangers of huge crowds. They believe that by keeping children out of crowded areas, everyone can enjoy a more peaceful and safe experience. If you’re planning to go, please keep this in mind and plan accordingly.

Priority For First-Time Pilgrims

There is more good news! First-time pilgrims will get special preference for Hajj in 2025. This means that many Muslims will have the chance to experience this holy journey at least once in their lifetime. It’s a wonderful opportunity for those who have always dreamed of taking part in Hajj.

Easy Registration And Flexible Payment Options

Saudi citizens and residents can now register for Hajj 2025 using the Nusuk app or the official website. It’s simple and clear. You need to verify your details and register your travel companions to complete your application.

On top of that, there is a new way to pay for your Hajj package. You can now pay in three easy installments. First, pay a 20% deposit within 72 hours of booking. Then, make two more equal payments of 40% each by Ramadan 20 and Shawwal 20. This flexible option helps you manage your expenses better. Just remember, your booking is confirmed only after the final payment is received.

Updated Visa Regulations

Another change is in the visa process. Starting February 1, 2025, people from 14 countries—including India—will get only a single-entry visa. This change stops people from using multiple-entry visas to join Hajj without proper registration. By doing this, the authorities can control the number of pilgrims and keep everyone safer in crowded holy sites.

A Safer, More Organized Journey

Saudi Arabia is working hard to make Hajj 2025 more organized, accessible, and safe. They are taking steps to protect everyone and offer better payment options. All these changes help create a more secure and enjoyable experience for you.

So, stay informed, complete your registration through the official channels, and get ready for a blessed and well-managed Hajj journey. We are in this together, and I’m here as your pal to help guide you along the way. Enjoy the journey ahead and may your Hajj be filled with peace and joy!
