Hajj Ministry Announces February 14 Deadline For Finalising Hajj Services Contracts Via Nusuk Masar

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has set a deadline for Hajj affairs offices worldwide to finalise their service contracts for the 1446 AH Hajj season. These contracts must be completed through the Nusuk Masar platform, which is specifically for international pilgrims. The ministry has outlined a detailed timeline with eight key phases, starting from the 20th of Rabi' Al-Thani 1446 AH.

To ensure optimal services for pilgrims, the ministry highlights the need to follow regulations set by Saudi authorities. This includes adhering to air and ground transportation requirements. Compliance with security, health, and procedural guidelines in the Hajj agreement is also crucial. These agreements are between the ministry and relevant offices in different countries.

After the deadline, no further contracting will be accepted. The actual quotas for pilgrims from each country will then be determined. Following this, the visa issuance process will begin immediately. The ministry urges Hajj offices to inform pilgrims about the importance of following all Hajj regulations and instructions.

Pilgrims must obtain visas and permits through official channels. They should also have their identification documents ready upon arrival in Saudi Arabia. This includes having a Nusuk Card as part of their documentation.

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah stresses that educating pilgrims on these requirements is essential. Ensuring compliance helps facilitate a smooth pilgrimage experience for everyone involved.
