Register through your country's official الحج portal or licensed operator, complete medical screening, submit documents, and pay the package fee — applications open 4-6 months before الحج.
The الحج application process varies by country but generally follows a structured path. First, check your country's official الحج registration portal or ministry responsible for الحج affairs — in many countries, this is the Ministry of Religious Affairs or a dedicated الحج commission. Registration typically opens 4-6 months before الحج season, and you must apply within the announced window.
Once registered, you will need to select an authorized الحج travel operator or package. Most governments maintain a list of licensed operators. You will then undergo a medical screening, provide required documents (passport, vaccination records, photos), and pay the package fee. Your application is then forwarded to المملكة العربية السعودية's Ministry of الحج for visa processing.
Due to the quota system, not all applicants may be selected in their first year. Some countries use a lottery or waiting list system. It is advisable to apply as early as possible and ensure all documentation is complete to avoid delays. First-time applicants are generally given priority over repeat الحجاج.
