Umrah visa fees vary by country and visa type, typically ranging from about ₹12,000–₹20,000 (India) or $80–$200 (US/UK/Canada) depending on whether you use a direct e-visa, classic Umrah visa, or an agency package.

What the Umrah visa fee includes (and what it doesn’t)

Usually included

  • Visa issuance fee (charged by Saudi authorities)

  • Mandatory travel / health insurance (often bundled)

  • Basic processing on government portal or via authorised agents

Usually excluded

  • International flights and baggage fees

  • Hotel and transport bookings (often required but charged separately)

  • Service/handling fees charged by travel agents

  • Optional upgrades (fast-track, VIP services)

Important: Saudi rules introduced in recent years require confirmed hotel + transport pre-bookings in many cases before visa approval — that can add cost if you or your agent arrange it.

How fees differ: Umrah visa vs Tourist eVisa vs Transit

  • Umrah visa (religious): Traditional route — often purchased via licensed agents; fees higher in peak seasons.

  • Tourist eVisa (visit visa): Launched for tourists; in many cases allows Umrah outside Hajj period — usually cheaper and quicker if eligible via the eVisa portal.

  • Transit / Stopover visa: Shorter validity and specific conditions — not a substitute if you plan a full Umrah stay.

  3. Apply via official portal (or authorised agent): fill form exactly as per passport.

  4. Pay fee online (card/international payment methods) and purchase mandatory insurance if not included.

How to avoid overpaying or scams

  • Always confirm the official fee on MOFA or the Saudi eVisa portal before paying.

  • Avoid paying cash to unverified agents. Use bank transfers to known companies or secure card payments.

  • If an offer seems “too cheap,” ask for a written breakdown of what is included.

  • Check recent news for fraud cases and agent suspensions. (We recommend reading local advisories.)

Refunds, cancellations and timing

  • Refund & cancellation policies differ between government (non-refundable in many cases) and agent packages (may have partial refunds).

  • If a visa is rejected for document errors, you may be eligible for a partial refund depending on the provider.

  • Keep a copy of all receipts and transaction IDs for disputes.
