On Sunday, April 13th, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah set the deadline for pilgrims to enter the Kingdom in preparation for the Hajj season and on April 29 as a final date for their departure. The ministry said in a statement today, Monday, which was reported by the Saudi Press Agency that staying after this date is a violation of its owners being subjected to regular penalties. The Ministry called on the necessity of the commitment of individuals, Umrah companies and institutions to regulations and instructions regulating the departure of pilgrims at the specified times. She emphasized that any delay in leaving after the specified date will be a violation and that not reporting the delay in pilgrims by companies may result in the imposition of financial fines amounting to 100 thousand riyals in addition to taking regular measures against the perpetrators. The Saudi Ministry of Interior announced earlier today that it will apply financial fines against any company or institution that provides services for pilgrims and pilgrims that are late in informing the competent authorities of any pilgrim or pilgrim who has not left after the end of the period specified for his residence.
