Absher Hosted Umrah Visa for Saudi Iqama Holders (2026)

Multiple-Entry Umrah Visa — Visit Your Family in Saudi Arabia More Than Once

Family Re-entry Assistance for Saudi Residents & Offshore Workers

Saudi Arabia introduced a one-year multiple-entry Umrah visa in July 2026. Eligible visa holders may enter Saudi Arabia more than once within the permitted validity, subject to the remaining cumulative stay allowance, service-package requirements, relevant permits and Saudi entry rules.

This may help families visiting relatives working in Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah and other Saudi locations plan shorter visits instead of one continuous stay. The opportunity depends on the visa that was actually issued. A hosted Absher file is not described here as multiple-entry unless that visa says so.

Conditions in the 20 July 2026 notice

These points are the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announcement carried by the Saudi Press Agency. They apply to that multiple-entry Umrah visa. They are not a combined rule for a tourist eVisa, a standard Umrah visa, and a hosted Qabool file.

• Visa validity: 365 days from issuance.
• Maximum cumulative stay: 90 days in total while the visa is valid. Days already spent count toward the same 90 days. The allowance does not reset after departure, and 90 days are not available on every entry.
• More than one visit is permitted only under the notice’s conditions. Re-entry is not automatic.
• A fresh approved Nusuk service package is required for each visit, including each visit after the first. The package cannot be longer than the days still left. Where that package is required, its charge is not optional.
• After each departure, the visa’s active status stops. Reactivation for the next visit follows the regulatory requirements. It is not granted by a ticket alone.
• An Umrah permit in the Nusuk app is required before arrival, aligned with the approved package dates.
• The visa is not activated for entry from 1 Dhu al-Qi'dah through 13 Dhu al-Hijjah. That Hajj-season limit is not stated as a separate ban on entering or staying in Makkah.
• Visa approval, reactivation, and entry are controlled by Saudi authorities.

What a returning visitor may need

An Iqama, or a fresh ticket on its own, is not treated as enough for re-entry. Depending on the visa category, the check can include:

• Existing visa details and confirmation that the visa is multiple-entry.
• Passport validity checks.
• Travel and return-ticket details.
• Host information where the file uses a host.
• Confirmation of the cumulative stay still available.
• A new approved service-package arrangement.
• Applicable hotel, transport, and Nusuk documentation.
• Saudi system reactivation or other processing the authorities require.

If the category or the re-entry step cannot be read from the issued visa, eligibility is checked individually. It is not assumed from the hosted Qabool route.
