Saudi Visa from Tajikistan, Approved in as Little as 6 Hours

Yes. Tajikistani passport holders need a visa, but Tajikistan is on the eVisa list, so you apply fully online with no embassy visit. Choose single entry (90-day validity) or multiple entry (valid one year), and the approved eVisa arrives by email as a printable PDF.

Somon Air runs seasonal Umrah and Hajj charters from Dushanbe to Jeddah and Madinah, taking about five hours. Outside the Umrah season most travellers connect once via Dubai, Istanbul or Almaty. Availability changes each season, so check current schedules.

Yes, outside the Hajj season. Your tourist eVisa covers entry, and the Umrah permit itself is free through the official Nusuk app. During the Hajj season, entry to Makkah is limited to Hajj-permit holders.

Both work. The tourist eVisa lets you travel independently and book your permit through Nusuk, while many Tajik pilgrims prefer a licensed operator that arranges charter seats, transport and language support. The eVisa is valid either way, outside the Hajj season.

The fee is charged in US dollars, and your Visa or Mastercard is accepted and billed at your bank's exchange rate. Note that somoni cash is not used inside Saudi Arabia, so rely on cards or bring US dollars to exchange for riyals.

Tajikistan is on UTC+5 and Saudi Arabia is on UTC+3, so Saudi Arabia is 2 hours behind Tajikistan. There is almost no jet lag on a trip from Dushanbe.

The application is straightforward, and Russian and Tajik speakers manage it easily with our help. English is the main language in Saudi pilgrim services, so a Russian or Tajik-speaking guide or operator can be useful on the ground.

November to March brings the mildest weather for the holy cities and sightseeing. For Umrah, travel outside the Hajj window, and plan early around Ramadan when charters and demand peak.

Everyday crime is low, and the holy cities are heavily managed for millions of pilgrims each year. Women can travel, perform Umrah and stay in hotels independently, with modest dress expected. Check your government's latest travel advice before booking.

Yes. On one visa you can perform Umrah in Makkah and Madinah and then visit Jeddah or AlUla. A multiple-entry visa also lets you return to the Kingdom again within the year.

A single-entry eVisa is valid for 90 days with up to a 90-day stay. A multiple-entry eVisa is valid for one year with up to 90 days per visit.

A Tajikistani passport valid at least 6 months from arrival, a recent white-background passport photo taken within the last 6 months, and a confirmed hotel booking (we can add one for $5 at checkout). No bank statements, invitation letter, or return ticket are needed.

All-inclusive prices run from $209 for single entry (Standard, 72 hours) up to $279 for multiple entry (Express, 6 hours), in US dollars with the government fees included. There are no hidden add-ons.

Choose Express and your approved eVisa can arrive in as little as 6 hours, or Priority within 24 hours. Standard (72 hours) is the value option when you book ahead.

Yes. Every traveller, including infants and minors, needs a separate application, even if the child is on a parent's passport. You can submit the whole family's applications together.

Your eVisa is valid at every Saudi entry point, including Riyadh (RUH), Jeddah (JED), Dammam (DMM) and Madinah (MED). Charters usually land at Jeddah or Madinah, the closest gateways to the holy cities.

Yes. Saudi Arabia's mandatory travel health insurance is bundled into your eVisa and covers emergency medical care during your stay. It does not cover trip cancellation or lost baggage, so a separate policy is still worth having.
