Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, in cooperation with the General Directorate of Passports, announced that, in addition to what it announced on March 23, 2020, an opportunity has been provided for all pilgrims whose visas had expired and those who were delayed to depart to their countries, within the regulatory period, to submit to the ministry a request for exemption from the legal and financial implications of delayed departure.
The ministry also reminded the pilgrims to quickly take advantage of the exemptions prescribed before the end of the deadline set at March 28, 2020, through the ministry's website, noting that statutory penalties will be applied to their maximum limits, in the event that the specified exemption period is not adhered to.
