The Ministry of Religious Affairs has announced an extension to the final deadline for Saudi visa biometric verification required for Hajj pilgrims. According to an official spokesperson, pilgrims may now complete the mandatory biometric process until February 17.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to use the official Saudi visa biometric mobile application to complete the verification from home. Biometric submission is compulsory for the issuance of a Hajj visa, and no visa will be processed without it.
As an alternative to the mobile app, pilgrims may visit designated Saudi Tasheerah Centers operating in six major cities across Pakistan. All individuals are advised to securely retain their confirmation receipt or email as proof of completion.
