The government of Saudi Arabia has overhauled the whole Umrah system. Consequently Umrah visa fee has changed. First the good news, the repeat Umrah Visa fee of 2000 Saudi Riyal (equivalent to £435) has been abolished. This a is a huge relief for those who go on Umrah trips almost every year. This however comes at a price, not to the repeat Umrah pilgrims; but to the common Umrah pilgirms.

The government of Saudi Arabia has overhauled the whole Umrah system, introducing huge changes. Consequently Umrah visa fee has changed. First the good news, the repeat Umrah Visa fee of 2000 Saudi Riyal (equivalent to £435) has been abolished. This a is a huge relief for those who go on Umrah trips almost every year. This however comes at a price, not to the repeat Umrah pilgrims; but to the common Umrah pilgirms. Everyone now has to pay higher Umrah fee, regardless of if it’s their first ever Umrah trip, or the second or the third and so on. The new Umrah visa fee at the time of writing is 500 SAR (£115). There are other additional costs like Ground Services, Electronic Processing Fee, increased tax rate etc., which will push the average Umrah package price by about £150.
