Umrah Visa from Bangladesh 2026: Requirements, Price & Process

Bangladeshi passport holders are not eligible for the Saudi tourist eVisa, so Umrah is arranged through a licensed Umrah operator (or the Ministry's Visa Package that bundles flights, hotel and visa). Choosing a reputable, registered operator is the most important decision you make, as it protects both your money and your booking. Here is the 2026 process, cost and paperwork. Fees and rules change — verified July 2026; confirm with your operator and the official portals before paying.

The route: licensed operator

Because Bangladesh is outside the eVisa list, you apply via a government-approved Umrah agency working with a Saudi service provider. In 2026 every Umrah visa is tied to a Nusuk-registered hotel and transport booking (a Booking Reference Number), so the visa comes bundled with a package. A good operator handles the visa, the Nusuk hotel booking and your transport together; ask to see their licence, get everything in writing, and be cautious of prices that look too cheap to be genuine.

Cost

The underlying Saudi government visa fee is SAR 300 plus mandatory insurance; the total you pay in BDT depends on your agency's package (visa, hotel and transport), on top of your flights. Because packages vary widely, compare a few licensed agencies and confirm exactly what is and isn't included — hotel distance from the Ḥaram, transport, and meals all affect the price.

Requirements

• Passport valid at least 6 months with blank pages.
• Meningitis (ACWY) vaccination certificate — required for all Umrah pilgrims (given 10 days to 3–5 years before arrival).
• Photographs to specification, and any additional vaccination the authorities require.
• A Nusuk-registered hotel booking through your agency.

Nusuk permit

Once in the Kingdom, use the Nusuk app for the Umrah permit and the free Rawdah appointment. Your visa is entry to the country; the Nusuk permit is permission to perform the pilgrimage — two separate things, both required. Set up your Nusuk account before you fly.

Women performing Umrah

As of 2026, women of all ages may perform Umrah without a mahram under current rules, typically in an organised group — verify with your operator, as policy can change.

Planning the trip

With the visa and hotel arranged through your operator, plan a smooth arrival — a pre-booked Jeddah Airport transfer means a driver meets your flight. See the Umrah cost breakdown for budgeting, and compare your route with neighbours in the India and Pakistan visa guides. Verified July 2026.
