Residents Desiring Entry to Mecca Can Now Proceed with Organized Hajj Arrangements and Procedures

The General Security confirmed the implementation of organized arrangements and procedures for Hajj, which require residents wishing to enter the city of Mecca to obtain a permit from the relevant authorities, starting from Wednesday, 25/10/1446 H, corresponding to 23/4/2025. Those without a permit will be prevented from entering at security checkpoints leading to the holy capital.

The General Security emphasized that the arrangements and procedures for this year’s Hajj in 1446 H will be enforced including the restriction of vehicles and residents without the necessary entry permit to work in the holy sites issued by the competent authority, a resident ID issued by the holy capital, or a Hajj permit, as appropriate.

It was noted that entry permits to the holy capital for resident workers during the Hajj season are issued electronically through the “Absher Individuals” platform and the “Muqeem Portal”, in technical integration with the unified digital platform for issuing Hajj permits “Tasreeh Platform”.
