Do children need their own Umrah visa and vaccinations?

Documents

• Own passport for every child, including infants, valid for at least six months.
• Own visa, applied for together with the parents so names, dates and hotel rooms match.

Vaccination

• The Saudi Ministry of Health requires all individuals intending to perform Umrah to have a meningococcal ACYW vaccine at least 10 days before arrival (conjugate within 5 years, or polysaccharide within 3 years).
• The requirement document doesn't set a minimum age, so your child's doctor should advise on the right vaccine for very young children.
• Keep each child's certificate with their passport.

Travel tips

• Book rooms that fit the whole family every night.
• Bring a carrier for the Haram (prams aren't allowed on the Mataf ground floor).
• Write your phone number on a wristband or card in the child's pocket.
