- In its first mechanism, Umrah visa can be issued through an operator or employer for 25 or more pilgrims, after concluding a contract between Umrah service providers in the Kingdom and licensed travel agents in each country.
- While, the second mechanism is based on the agreement between the operator and the customer, according to which one pilgrim or a small group of pilgrims with a maximum of 9 people can directly enter the Kingdom to perform Umrah by selecting the required Umrah package through the approved electronic portals, according to a report aired by Al Arabiya channel.
