Global Hajj quota
Hajj for Overseas Pakistanis
Living in the UK, USA, Canada, the Gulf, or Europe doesn't change your eligibility. Your Pakistani passport is what grants you access to Pakistan's official Hajj quota — wherever you call home.
Overseas Hajji
How it works from outside Pakistan
Do you qualify?
Residence has no bearing on eligibility — your Pakistani passport is what qualifies you for Pakistan's official Hajj quota.
- Valid Pakistani passport required
- Overseas residence is no barrier
- Pakistan's official Ministry of Religious Affairs quota applies
Visa handling
Your Hajj visa is issued directly through Pakistan's official quota once registration and maktab allocation are confirmed — no separate visa application to file yourself.
Your flights, our operations
Book your own international flights to Jeddah or Madinah. We handle everything on the ground — accommodation, transport, group support, and full Hajj operations.
Direct KSA meetup
Our team meets you directly at the airport in Jeddah or Madinah and guides you from the moment you land — no need to navigate Saudi Arabia alone.
International payment
We accept secure international payments via USD bank transfer. Contact us and we'll send full payment details with your booking confirmation.
All prices are approximate in USD - final rate confirmed on enquiry.
WhatsApp enquiryLiving in the UK doesn't change your eligibility - your Pakistani passport is what qualifies you for the official quota. Fly into Jeddah or Madinah from any UK airport, and we'll coordinate everything from there.
What you'll need to apply
- Valid Pakistani passport (validity requirement for the current Hajj cycle confirmed on enquiry)
- NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis) or CNIC for the pilgrim
- Next of kin's CNIC/NICOP copy, with relationship and contact number
- One recent passport-style photograph (blue or white background; for women, head covered with the face visible)
What overseas pilgrims told us
I went for Hajj in 2026 with Travel Ways, with the CEO Muhammad Daud there with us throughout, and it was a lovely experience. Before we left, the TWI team ran us through exactly how to perform Hajj step by step - there are so many different opinions out there, and having that grounding beforehand made the actual days of Hajj so much easier. Our flights were cancelled because of the situation in the region, and TWI helped us travel out earlier and get settled in Azizia - a great location, close to the Jamarat, with unlimited food. In Madinah we were a five-minute walk from Masjid an-Nabawi, in a very nice hotel. I was nervous about the heat, 45 to 47 degrees, but you adjust to it and end up enjoying it. I'd travelled from the UK and was sceptical about going on a Pakistani passport rather than the British-passport route - but our facilities were better than what people going through the UK had, and I'd absolutely recommend this route to anyone who can take it.

Frequently asked questions for overseas Hajjis
Can I book Hajj through Travel Ways International if I live in the UK, USA, or elsewhere abroad?
Yes. Pakistan's official Hajj quota is tied to your Pakistani passport, not your country of residence. We handle your registration, maktab allocation, and on-ground coordination in Makkah and Madinah, wherever in the world you're currently living.
Do I need to fly from Pakistan?
No. You can book your own international flight directly into Jeddah or Madinah from your country of residence. Our team meets you at the airport and takes care of everything from there.
Can I pay from a foreign bank account?
Yes, we accept international payments via secure USD bank transfer. Contact us and we'll send full payment details.
Do I need a separate Hajj visa application?
No - your Hajj visa is issued as part of Pakistan's official government quota once your registration is confirmed.
Can I register with my NICOP instead of a CNIC?
Yes. As an overseas Pakistani you'll typically register with your NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis) rather than a domestic CNIC, alongside your valid Pakistani passport. We'll confirm the exact document list when you enquire.
Will someone train us on how to actually perform Hajj correctly?
Yes. We run a pre-Hajj orientation covering the rituals step by step before the group travels, so pilgrims know what to expect and how to perform Hajj correctly - past overseas Hajjis have told us this made a real difference once the main days began.
What happens if my international flight is delayed or cancelled?
We've handled this before - when a pilgrim's flight was disrupted by regional flight cancellations, our team adjusted the arrival arrangements so their Hajj continued without disruption. Keep us updated on your flight status and we'll help coordinate around it.
Where will I be accommodated in Makkah and Madinah?
Accommodation is arranged as part of your package and confirmed at booking. Overseas pilgrims we've guided in recent years have stayed within walking distance of the Jamarat in Makkah, and close to Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah.
I'm nervous about travelling on a Pakistani passport from abroad - is this legitimate?
Completely. Pakistan's Ministry of Religious Affairs Hajj quota is issued to Pakistani passport holders regardless of where they live. Travel Ways International is MORA-registered (Enrolment No. 2265/1, Munazam No. 13453) and has been guiding overseas Hajjis - from the UK, Australia, Canada and beyond - since 2019.
What's included once I land in Saudi Arabia?
Once you land, TWI handles everything on the ground - accommodation, transport between Makkah, Mina, Arafat and Madinah, and daily group support - so you're not navigating Saudi Arabia alone at any stage of Hajj.
How early should I register for Hajj as an overseas Pakistani?
Registration and maktab allocation follow Pakistan's official quota timeline, which typically opens months in advance. Contact us as soon as you decide to go so we can guide you through registration and documentation in good time.
