Every Umrah journey from Pakistan starts with the visa. The good news: when you book a package with Famous Travels, we handle the visa for you. This guide explains what documents you need and how the process works, step by step.
Documents you need
- A valid passport — valid for at least 6 months from your travel date, with blank pages for stamps.
- CNIC — a copy of your Computerised National Identity Card.
- Photographs — recent passport-size photographs (we will confirm the exact size and background when you book).
- For families — marriage certificate or FRC (Family Registration Certificate) may be asked for when women and children are travelling with a mahram.
Requirements can change with Saudi regulations, so we always verify the current list for your travel dates before submitting anything.
The process, step by step
Step 1: Choose your package and dates. Pick your travel dates and package — see our Umrah Package — Makkah & Madinah (15 days / 14 nights, group departures every month).
Step 2: Submit your documents. Send us your passport, CNIC and photographs. We check every document before submission, so nothing is delayed by a small mistake.
Step 3: We process your visa. Umrah visas for Pakistani pilgrims are issued through authorised channels. We submit your application and keep you updated until the visa is issued.
Step 4: Receive your e-visa and booking pack. Your visa, flight tickets and hotel confirmations are shared with you before departure, with a full briefing for your group.
Step 5: Travel. Keep printed and digital copies of your visa, passport and bookings with you — our step-by-step preparation guide covers the final checks before you fly.
Umrah visa or Saudi tourist visa?
Pakistanis can also visit Saudi Arabia on a tourist eVisa for tourism purposes, but the Umrah visa arranged with your package is the straightforward route for pilgrims: it comes with your flights, hotels near Haram, transfers and guided ziyarat handled together. Never assume one visa type covers everything — Hajj, for example, is never allowed on an Umrah visa; see our Hajj and Umrah Guide for the difference.
Apply early
Visa processing times vary by season, and demand peaks in Ramadan and school holidays. The safest approach is simple: fix your dates early, send your documents early, and let us handle the rest.
