Umrah packages from Bangladesh

Umrah is popular in Bangladesh: the Hajj Agencies Association of Bangladesh (HAAB) estimates that nearly 400,000 Bangladeshis performed Umrah in the 2026 season. Most packages are 14 days, with eight nights in Makkah and five in Madinah, flying from Dhaka.

Airfare is a large part of the price, about 40 to 50% according to HAAB, so the airline and flight dates make a real difference to what you pay.

Umrah visa for Bangladeshi passport holders

Bangladeshi passport holders are not on the Saudi tourist eVisa list. A September 2026 travel guide says Bangladeshis cannot apply on Nusuk as individuals and must go through an operator licensed by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. Sources differ: in May 2026 the HAAB president was quoted saying anyone can now arrange packages online through Nusuk. Until this is clear, plan to use a licensed agency.

Fingerprint (biometric) enrolment through the "Saudi Visa Bio" app is mandatory for e-Umrah visas for pilgrims from Bangladesh, one of five countries with this rule. An agency cannot issue the visa without a package that includes accommodation and transport.

If you hold a valid US, UK or Schengen visa that you have used, you may qualify for the Saudi eVisa whatever your nationality, though the official pages describing this are a few years old.

Every pilgrim needs the meningitis ACYW vaccine at least 10 days before arrival.

Who may sell Umrah in Bangladesh

Under the Hajj and Umrah Management Act 2021, Hajj and Umrah agencies must register with a government national committee, under the Ministry of Religious Affairs. An Umrah agency needs at least two years' prior experience as a travel agency. Offences by an Umrah agency can lead to cancelled registration and a fine of up to Tk 15 lakh.

HAAB says about 1,300 agencies are approved but only about 600 are operating, and it has asked for Umrah to be regulated more like Hajj, which suggests Umrah is still less tightly controlled.

Before you pay, ask the agency for its Umrah registration number and check it against the approved Umrah agency list on the government's Hajj management portal (we could not verify a direct link to the list). Also search Nusuk Masar's public list of qualified external agents, Inquiry About Qualified External Agents, by country and city. See how to check an operator.
