Key Pathways for Pakistani Passport Holders in USA
1. Visa on Arrival (If You Have a Used US Visa)
If you hold a valid and used US visa (any type—tourist, work, student, or permanent residency), you are eligible for Saudi Visa on Arrival. This is the most convenient option for Pakistani passport holders living in the USA.
Requirements:
- Your US visa must have been used at least once (stamped upon entry to the USA)
- Passport valid for at least 6 months
- Available at all Saudi international airports
- Visa fee: $120 USD (approx. 450 SAR) payable at the airport
- Maximum stay: 90 days
- Allows Umrah: Yes, outside Hajj season
Important: This visa is issued upon arrival—no advance application needed. However, we recommend having your documents verified by a Taqwa Tours agent before travel to avoid any issues.
2. Traditional Umrah Visa (Through Authorized Agent)
If you do not hold a valid US visa, or prefer a structured package, you must apply for the traditional Umrah visa through a licensed travel agency like Taqwa Tours.
Key Features:
- Single-entry visa—valid for 90 days from issuance
- Stay duration: Up to 30 days
- Application method: Only through authorized agents (not available online for Pakistanis).

- Cost: $200–$300 (varies based on package and services).
3. GCC Resident Pathway
If you are a Pakistani passport holder with GCC residency (UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait), you can apply for a Saudi tourist visa online and perform Umrah.
