Hajj 2025: Child Ban and Visa Updates

Saudi Arabia has announced a ban on children under 12 from participating in Hajj 2025, citing safety concerns related to overcrowding. Furthermore, pilgrims from 14 countries, including India and Pakistan, will now be required to obtain single-entry visas to prevent unauthorized participation. First-time pilgrims will be given priority, and domestic pilgrims can now pay for their packages in installments through the Nusuk app. These initiatives are designed to improve safety and manage crowds more effectively during the pilgrimage.
