Passports Directorate Launches Electronic Makkah Entry Permits for 1447 AH Hajj

The General Directorate of Passports has announced the commencement of electronic applications for Makkah entry permits for resident workers during the 1447 AH Hajj season. Facilitated through technical integration with the "Makkah Entry Permit" service, applications can be submitted via the "Absher" and "Muqeem" portals, completely eliminating the need for in-person visits to passport offices.

 The "Absher Individuals" platform is designated for permit issuance for GCC citizens, Premium Residency holders, investors, mothers of Saudi citizens, domestic workers, and non-Saudi family members. Meanwhile, the "Muqeem" portal serves employees of Makkah-based establishments and those with employment contracts with such establishments during the Hajj season.
