The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia has announced that **February 14, 2025** (Shaaban 15, 1446 AH) will be the final date for **Hajj Affairs Offices** worldwide to finalize service contracts for the upcoming Hajj season.

The ministry emphasized the need to complete all contracts through the **“Nusuk Masar” platform**, designated for pilgrims traveling from abroad.

## **Timetable for Hajj Service Contracts**

The ministry has outlined a detailed schedule comprising **eight key stages** for Hajj preparations, ensuring that tasks are completed efficiently. The **contracting stage**, which began on **October 23, 2024** (Rabi’ al-Thani 20, 1446 AH), will conclude on **February 14, 2025**.

### Following the deadline:

• **No additional contracts will be accepted**, and the ministry will finalize the **pilgrim quotas** for each country.

• The process of issuing Hajj visas will begin immediately after this stage.

## **Focus on Quality Services and Compliance**

To provide the best services for pilgrims, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has stressed the importance of:

- **Adhering to Kingdom-wide requirements**, including those related to air and land transportation, security, health, and other procedural guidelines outlined in the **Hajj Affairs Agreement**.
- **Educating pilgrims** on Hajj regulations and the need to follow instructions, including obtaining visas and permits from official channels.

The ministry also underscored the significance of pilgrims carrying proper identification, such as the **“Nusuk” card**, upon their arrival in Saudi Arabia.

## **Ensuring a Seamless Pilgrimage**

This initiative is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to streamline Hajj operations and provide a seamless experience for the millions of pilgrims who perform the religious journey each year.

By setting clear deadlines and leveraging platforms like **Nusuk Masar**, the ministry aims to enhance efficiency, security, and the overall experience for the **guests of God**.
