Key differences to know
Hajj Visa for Women & Children
Saudi Arabia maintains specific regulations for female pilgrims and minors. Review these carefully before applying.
Women's Hajj Visa
Women of all ages can apply for a Hajj visa. Females below 45 years must be accompanied by a Mahram. Women over 45 years may travel without a Mahram but must be part of an organized, authorized group.
Children's Hajj Visa
Children of all ages require their own individual Hajj visa. Minors (under 18) must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian throughout the entire pilgrimage journey.
Mahram Consent Letter
For women travelling without a Mahram, a notarized Mahram consent letter is required — signed by the authorized male guardian (father, brother, son, etc.) granting explicit permission to travel with the Hajj group.
