Key Takeaways
- April 18, 2026 is the final date for Umrah visa holders to depart Saudi Arabia.
- The deadline is part of the regular seasonal transition from Umrah to Hajj season and has no connection to any security situation.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has officially confirmed that April 18, 2026 — corresponding to 1 Dhul Qi’dah 1447 AH — is the final date by which all Umrah visa holders must depart the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The deadline marks the formal close of the Umrah season as the Kingdom shifts its full focus toward preparations for Hajj 2026.
The Ministry was clear that this deadline is a standard part of the annual calendar — the regular transition point between the Umrah and Hajj seasons that takes place every year.
Umrah pilgrims who remain in the Kingdom beyond April 18 will be in violation of their visa conditions.
