This page describes the procedure to perform a Umrah from Germany.

There are multiple steps in the process of going to Umrah from Germany with variable conditions.

The major steps are:

1. Getting Visa

a. With German Nationality/Permanent Residence (PR)

The process is simple and straightforward if you have German nationality/PR. You can simply go to the official website of Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) at the following link. https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/ The steps of the online application at the above link are self-explanatory. The positive thing is that you will get an e-visa in only 110 Euros valid for one year and multi entries are possible.

b. With Blue Card and Pakistani Passport

I have come across many people in my surroundings who were somehow able to get the e-visa by giving details of the blue card instead of PR during online application using the above link of MoFA. I was not able to get that chance and was clearly refused, saying that this option is only for German nationals or PR holders. Therefore, I don’t recommend trying this option for blue card holders because the 110 Euro fee paid online is not refundable.
