Ministry of Religious Affairs has issued important guidelines for intending pilgrims.

According to these, it is mandatory for the pilgrims to get required vaccination and obtain a Yellow card from the Haji camp before departing for Saudi Arabia.

Entry into Saudi Arabia is not allowed without a valid vaccination certificate.

Those above sixty five years of age must carry their Covid-19 vaccination card.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Religious Affairs has also urged Hujjaj to stay alert against fake permits and to travel to Saudi Arabia only with a valid and authentic Hajj permit.
