Yes, the Saudi eVisa also functions as an Umrah visa for US citizens. In addition to tourist activities, transit, or attending meetings, conferences, or workshops, you can perform Umrah with an online visa for Saudi Arabia.
You simply need to select the primary purpose of your travel as ‘Umrah’ when filling out the electronic visa application form. This is important so you will be prioritized for Umrah.
An approved online Umrah visa from the USA allows you to undertake this type of pilgrimage at any time of the year, except during Hajj season. This is during the final month of the Islamic calendar.
However, as the dates change every year, you should double-check that the Hajj season does not coincide with your trip for Umrah. Otherwise, you may have to apply for a separate visa through a specialized agency.
