Register through your country's official Haji portal or licensed operator, complete medical screening, submit documents, and pay the package fee — applications open 4-6 months before Haji.
The Haji application process varies by country but generally follows a structured path. First, check your country's official Haji registration portal or ministry responsible for Haji affairs — in many countries, this is the Ministry of Religious Affairs or a dedicated Haji commission. Registration typically opens 4-6 months before Haji season, and you must apply within the announced window.
Once registered, you will need to select an authorized Haji 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 Arab Saudi's Ministry of Haji 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 jamaah haji.
Nabi (shallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: 'Whoever performs Haji and does not commit any obscenity or transgression shall return [free from sins] as on the day his mother bore him.'
