Saudi Umrah Visa 2026 for US Citizens & Residents

Yes. Every pilgrim travelling from the USA needs a valid Saudi visa that permits Umrah. You can apply online, go through a licensed Umrah package, or, where eligible, use the visa on arrival option. Arranging your visa for Umrah before departure is the smoothest option.

The Umrah visa price, also searched as the Saudi Umrah visa fee, is not one fixed figure. It depends on the visa type issued, your nationality and the service fee of the agency handling it. The Saudi visa fee is set by Saudi authorities and differs between the Umrah visa and the tourist e-visa. Medical insurance is bundled with the visa. With an Amax Travel Umrah package, visa assistance is included and itemized in your written quote, so you see a clear breakdown before you pay.

The Umrah visa from the USA is valid for one year with multiple entries and allows a maximum stay of 90 days. There are no city restrictions and medical insurance is included. Saudi rules can change, so confirm current terms with Amax Travel before you submit documents or pay.

Yes. Medical insurance is bundled with the Umrah visa, and the coverage terms appear in your visa documents. You also need the required meningitis (ACWY) vaccination certificate, as an original record. Health requirements can change, so confirm the current list with Amax Travel before you submit.

Yes, both can perform Umrah. US citizens use their US passport. For the Umrah visa for green card holders, the visa is issued on the passport of your nationality, so you submit that passport together with a colour copy of your green card, both sides. The United States is an eligible country for the Saudi e-visa for US citizens; for green card holders the tourist e-visa option depends on your passport nationality. Under current rules, no Mahram is required for women. If you are in the USA on an H1B, F1 or another temporary status, make sure your US visa stamp and status documents are valid for re-entry before you book. Amax Travel can confirm the Saudi side of the process, but not your US immigration status.

Typically a passport valid for at least 6 months with blank pages, a recent passport-style photo with a white background, the required meningitis (ACWY) vaccination certificate, a colour copy of your green card (both sides) if you are a permanent resident, and a birth certificate for minors. Scan everything in colour with all four corners visible. Requirements can change, so confirm the current list before submitting.

Minors need a birth certificate, and proof of relationship is typically needed for minors or family members travelling together. Children also need the same core documents as adults, such as a passport and the required vaccination certificate. Requirements can change, so confirm the current list for each child with Amax Travel before you submit.

Online approval can be fast, but processing time varies with the season, your documents and Saudi processing volumes. You send your documents, our team checks them, and we submit and track the application through the official Saudi e-visa system. Submit complete documents 3 to 4 weeks before departure in regular season, 6 to 8 weeks before departure for school and year-end holidays, and as early as possible for Ramadan. Urgent requests cannot be guaranteed.

Amax Travel provides staff support at Saudi airports, including Jeddah and Madinah, plus guidance before you fly. Your flights, hotels and transfers are listed line by line in your written quote, so confirm your arrival airport and route with the team when you choose your package.

Cancellation and refund terms are stated in your written quote before you pay, and visa assistance is itemized in that quote. Avoid non-refundable tickets until your visa is confirmed. Ask the Amax Travel team for the accepted payment methods and a clear breakdown before you pay.
