Saudi visas • preparation and follow-up service
We arrange an Umrah visa from Turkey for you from start to arrival: preparing the application through the Nusuk Umrah platform or authorized Umrah agents, booking your flight and hotels in Makkah and Madinah, then guiding you to book your Umrah permit.
Why apply through OYA?
An application can be rejected, or its fees lost, because of a simple mistake: a letter in the name that does not match the passport, a missing digit, a reversed date, or a photo in the wrong size. Government fees are usually not refundable. That is why we submit your Umrah visa application for you and set up your file correctly from the start.
OYA Tourism is a private travel agency, not a government body. Our service fee is modest, and we explain it to you separately from the official fees before we start; the final decision rests with the competent authority alone.
Today the Umrah visa is issued through two channels: the "Nusuk Umrah" platform, launched by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in August 2025 for direct booking from outside the Kingdom, or accredited external Umrah agents listed on the platform. The Umrah visa is tied to a service package that includes accommodation and transport, and it is usually issued after you confirm accommodation registered on Nusuk that covers your length of stay.
Since November 2025, an Umrah visa is cancelled if the pilgrim does not enter the Kingdom within 30 days of its issue, while the stay after arrival remains up to 3 months. So the application is submitted close to your travel date, and we match your flight and hotel dates to it precisely.
According to the 1448 AH Umrah season calendar announced by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, visa issuance began on 14 Dhu al-Hijjah 1447 AH (May 31, 2026) and continues until 1 Shawwal 1448 AH (March 9, 2027). The last date for pilgrims to enter is 15 Shawwal 1448 AH (March 23, 2027). If you are planning a Ramadan Umrah, we advise booking early.
At OYA Tourism we book your flights from Istanbul to Jeddah or Madinah, choose hotels close to the Haram Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque to suit your budget, and arrange travel between the two cities. We prepare the application and coordinate it with accredited service providers, but the decision to issue the visa rests with the competent Saudi authorities.
