I was told couple of travel agents that Saudi is no more issuing Umrah visa for visitors in Qatar? Can somebody officially confirm if it is true? JazakALLAH.

As I discussed this matter with one of my friend working in MOI, there is NO ban from Qatar for any visitors. But for time being Saudi Embassy is not accepting the applications. He told me that wait for 10/15 days, it will be open.....InshALLAH.

As there are too much applications for the local/ RP persons so the agents are not willing to accept Visitors application because they have to produce more documents for re-Entry Visa etc.

Hope Fully it will be open in next week.......InshAllah

@manooni, did you confirm with the Saudi embassy that is this a new rule? or it's just travel agents are saying for the sake of because they are already getting lot of local applications?
