The Religious Affairs Ministry has announced that applications for Hajj visas for the current year will open on February 8 and continue until March 20. All registered Hajj pilgrims, both through government and private channels, are currently undergoing health check-ups at government hospitals, it said. According to the directives of Saudi Arabia, pilgrims must complete their medical examinations and receive the required vaccinations to obtain a fitness certificate. With the certificate, they can apply for Hajj visas through the Saudi Nusk Masar system between February 8 and March 20. This year, no pilgrim will be allowed to perform Hajj without a valid fitness certificate.
