The beginning of the new Umrah season for nationals and residents of Gulf Cooperation Council countries, including the Kingdom, was declared by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah on Tuesday.
Following the successful conclusion of this year's Hajj season, citizens and residents of GCC nations are now allowed to apply for an Umrah permission through the Nusuk or Tawakkalna applications.
While Tawakkalna makes sure the applicant satisfies the essential health standards, the Nusuk application can be utilised to gain the required permissions to do Umrah and visit the Holy Rawdah in the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah.
The ministry recently announced that pilgrims from outside of the GCC area will be able to perform Umrah from the start of the new Islamic year which will fall on either next Tuesday or Wednesday.
