Nigeria Umrah Visa Process

Nigerian citizens can obtain an Umrah visa through authorized travel agencies registered with the Saudi Ministry of Hajj. Travel Ease is fully licensed and has processed thousands of visas from Lagos, Abuja, and Kano.

Required Documents for Nigerians

Valid Nigerian passport (6+ months validity), two passport photos (white background, no glasses), meningitis ACWY vaccination certificate, COVID-19 vaccination card, completed visa application form, and proof of accommodation in Saudi Arabia.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
