Through the new “Nusuk Hajj” platform, nusuk.hajj.sa, pilgrims from more than 58 countries in Europe, the Americas, and Australia can apply directly for the Hajj.
The site was officially launched by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Hajj and Umrah on Wednesday, February 8. The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has officially certified just this platform to offer Hajj services in 2023, according to the Nusuk Hajj website. It was primarily created to offer Muslims from Europe, the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand a distinctive spiritual Hajj journey.
What is ‘Nusuk Hajj’ and how does it help pilgrims?
The platform will assist pilgrims in managing their Hajj travel, covering duties like purchasing their airline tickets, confirming their accommodation and catering, and obtaining advice and support all throughout their Hajj. The platform allows applicants to register both themselves and their companions, who will receive notifications about any improvements to the services offered through it.
This year, Hajj is anticipated to begin around June 26.
On the platform, just registration is open right now. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah will make announcements regarding the Hajj package, payment methods, visa requirements, and transportation in the future, according to the website.
It is important to note, however, that registering on the platform does not mean that the pilgrims will be guaranteed a Hajj visa.
