Assalam u alaikum,

My parents are going to come on visit under my sponsership. I am planning to send my parents for performing Umrah. Due to finanacial constraints, I wont be able to accompany my parents.Knowing that they are under my sponsership, Is it necessary for me to accompany them as well? What are the legal possiblities? What are the immigration requirements for performing Umrah under visit visa?
Awaiting for your advice.

If your parents are planning to come back to Qatar after Umrah, and then go back home, then you should also get for them something called 'return visa' so that they may be able to reenter Qatar.

This of course will mean that their Qatar's visa are valid through out the time they are in Saudi and at the time they plan to reenter Qatar.

Guys, is this system still in place?

Yes U Obtain a umrah visa from saudi embassy saying that ur parents are her on visit

the visa is issued

once its issued they can travel with u or without u no concerns regarding that by air or road travel

......but this procerdure is stictly followed by a HAMLAH or Travel Consultant >>>..........

Be aware, Umrah visas will be open in the end of January.
