Malaysians must now pay additional visa charge to perform umrah



Malaysians going to perform the umrah will have to pay an additional visa charge of RM350 (300 riyal) each, the Saudi Arabia government announced yesterday.
The president of the Association of Travel Agencies, Umrah and Hajj (Papuh), Razali Mohd Sham, said the charge, although introduced for the first time and took effect yesterday, was not too much a burden for the pilgrims.
“Those who have made bookings for their accommodation and transport for the umrah before Sept 10 and to leave for the pilgrimage after the date, will also be required to pay the additional visa charge.
“However, the Saudi Arabia government also announced to abolish the repeat umrah visa fee of RM2,300 (2,000 riyal) for each pilgrim,” Razali told a media conference in Shah Alam today.

Razali said based on statistics released by the Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Haj and Umrah last June 2, Malaysia had sent 274,066 pilgrims to perform the umrah since 2018.
