Umrah Visa Fee from Pakistan 2026 — Complete Cost Breakdown
n
One of the most searched Umrah questions in Pakistan is also one of the most confusing: what exactly does the Umrah visa cost? You’ll hear different figures from different agents — because the “visa fee” people quote often bundles several separate charges. This guide breaks down every component honestly, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
n
**Our policy:** We itemise every charge in writing before you pay a rupee. If any agent can’t explain what their “visa fee” includes — walk away.

The Official Umrah Visa Fee
n
The Umrah visa itself is issued by Saudi Arabia. The official visa charge is set by the Saudi authorities and is the same regardless of which agent you use. On top of it, agents add:
n
- n
- Visa processing / service charges — the agent’s fee for preparing and submitting your application
- Mandatory travel insurance — Saudi Arabia requires health insurance coverage for Umrah pilgrims; this is a separate, real cost
- Biometric / Tasheer centre charges — if applicable to your application route

When someone quotes you a single “visa fee” figure, ask them to split it into these three parts. The differences between agents are almost entirely in parts 2 and 3 — the official fee doesn’t change.

Umrah Visa Fee vs Full Package — Don’t Confuse Them
n
A common trick: quoting a low “visa fee” and then adding hotels, tickets and transport later at inflated rates. Always compare like with like:
n
- n
- Visa only = visa + insurance + processing (you arrange your own flights/hotels)
- Full Umrah package = visa + return tickets + Makkah/Madinah hotels + transport + Ziyarat (see our Umrah packages)
n

For most first-time pilgrims, the full package is better value and far less hassle.
n
Who Pays What? (Family / Group Cases)
n
- n
- Adults and children — everyone travelling needs their own visa; there is no “family discount” on the official fee, though agents may reduce *service* charges for groups
- Infants — visa still required; airline infant fares are separate
- Group organisers — groups of 10+ should always negotiate the service-charge component, not the official fee (which is fixed)

How to Avoid Overpaying for Your Umrah Visa
n
- n
- Get the fee itemised in writing: official fee vs insurance vs service charges
- Check what’s *excluded* — some “cheap” visas exclude insurance, which you then must buy separately
- Never pay the full amount in cash without a receipt — bank transfer or documented payment only
- Confirm processing time in writing (delays cost you flight-change penalties)
- Use an agency with a physical office you can visit — ours is in Blue Area, Islamabad

Frequently Asked Questions
n
How much is the Umrah visa fee from Pakistan in 2026?
n
The total you pay has three parts: the official Saudi visa fee (fixed), mandatory travel insurance, and the agent’s service charges. Only the last two vary between agents — message us on WhatsApp for today’s itemised total.
n
Is travel insurance really mandatory for Umrah?
n
Yes — Saudi Arabia requires valid health insurance coverage for Umrah pilgrims. Any “visa fee” that excludes it isn’t the full cost.
n
How long does Umrah visa processing take?
n
Typically a few working days once documents are complete, but allow 1–2 weeks buffer before your travel date.
n
Can I get an Umrah visa without a package?
n
Yes — visa-only processing is available. You’ll then arrange flights and hotels yourself, or we can bundle everything into a package.
n
Why do different agents quote different visa fees?
n
The official fee is identical everywhere. Differences come from insurance providers, service charges, and — with dishonest agents — hidden exclusions. Always demand an itemised quote.
