Medina Entry Requirements
Visa, immigration, and customs information
Important Notice
Entry requirements can change at any time. Always verify current requirements with official government sources before traveling.
Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport and the Haramain High-Speed Railway deliver every pilgrim and visitor straight into Medina. Your passport must have six months' validity beyond arrival, and you need an onward ticket. Immigration moves faster for pre-booked Umrah groups, solo travelers queue with everyone else. Roadside checkpoints and mosque guards enforce the hard line: non-Muslims stay outside the central Haram area.
