Questions travellers ask
Can I perform Hajj on a tourist visa?
No. Tourist, stopover and Umrah visas are not valid for Hajj. Hajj needs a Hajj visa and permit through your country’s Hajj quota or Nusuk Hajj.
Can citizens of Bangladesh perform Umrah?
Yes, on an Umrah visa issued with a package from a licensed Umrah agent, or during a free 96-hour stopover with Saudia or flynas (with a Nusuk permit). darbiya arranges Umrah packages and tailor-made Umrah trips.
Can citizens of Bangladesh get the Saudi eVisa?
Not directly — Bangladesh is not on the eVisa list. You can still apply if you hold a valid US, UK or Schengen visa used at least once, are a permanent resident of the US, UK or EU, or live in a GCC country.
