The General Directorate of Hajj and Umrah Services at the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) issued a warning to Hajj candidates who gained final registration rights in the 2027 Hajj draw regarding the validity of their passports.
According to a statement on the directorate's website, candidates' passports must be valid until at least 20 November 2027 for visa procedures to proceed smoothly.
Candidates applying for new passports or renewing existing ones were asked to request, when applying to provincial and district population directorates, that their passports be made valid until that date.
