The South African Hajj and Umrah Council (SAHUC) says it has written to the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) requesting their intervention with Saudi Arabia regarding visa charges for Umrah and Hajj for repeat pilgrims.
In a statement SAHUC says it supports the concerns of exorbitant visa fees which has caused concern among those that intend embarking for Umrah.
“SAHUC has also appealed directly to the Government of Saudi Arabia via correspondence through the embassy in Pretoria.”
SAHUC says to date it has not received any formal communication from the Kingdom or the embassy and will continue to support an international appeal on the Umrah visa fees debacle.
