However, the total duration of all stays cannot exceed 90 days.The ministry said pilgrims must purchase a service package through an approved provider on the Nusuk platform before each visit. The package duration must not exceed the number
of days remaining on the visa.Pilgrims must also obtain an Umrah permit through the Nusuk application before arriving in Saudi Arabia.The ministry explained that the visa will automatically deactivate when a pilgrim leaves the Kingdom and reactivate only
after the traveller meets the required regulations for a subsequent visit.The multiple-entry visa will remain unavailable during the Hajj season. It will not be activated from the first day of Dhu Al-Qi'dah until the 13th day of Dhu Al-Hijjah.
