AL Islam Travels, a UK-based Hajj and Umrah travel agency, has confirmed that Hajj visa assistance remains part of its standard service for pilgrims travelling from the United Kingdom this season.

Since 2023, all UK Hajj bookings have been required to go through the official Nusuk Hajj and Umrah platform, with visa applications processed as part of that system rather than through a separate embassy application. Pilgrims booking independently sometimes find the documentation requirements, including passport validity, vaccination records, and Muslim faith declarations, difficult to navigate without guidance.

AL Islam Travels said its visa assistance service is intended to reduce that difficulty by reviewing each pilgrim's documents before submission and confirming eligibility ahead of the Nusuk registration deadline.

"Visa delays are one of the most common reasons pilgrims run into last-minute stress before Hajj," said a spokesperson for AL Islam Travels. "We check documentation early, so applicants know exactly what is needed and have time to fix any issues before the deadline."

The service covers passport and document verification, vaccination record checks against current Saudi health requirements, and submission through the Nusuk platform as part of an approved Hajj package. AL Islam Travels is listed with the Council of British Hajjis UK (CBHUK) as an approved operator and holds ATOL protection, which safeguards funds paid by travellers should the agency cease trading before departure.

Pilgrims are advised to begin the visa process at least three to four months ahead of the Hajj season, as processing times can extend closer to peak booking periods.
