There is no fee for the Umrah pilgrimage for the first time. Umrah Visa Fee is only applicable to those who are performing Umrah for the second time or more in the same year or next Hijri year.
SR 2,000 will be the applicable fee for the Umrah pilgrimage for the second time or more in the same year or the next Hijri year.
However you can avoid the Umrah visa fee by skipping 2 years. That means there will not be any fees for Umrah for once every 3 years.
