Saudi Biometric Mandatory for Hajj Visa, Facility Available via Home-Based App: Ministry of Religious Affairs
**Islamabad:** The Ministry of Religious Affairs has issued important guidelines regarding Saudi biometric requirements for obtaining a Hajj visa. According to the ministry’s spokesperson, all intending pilgrims are advised to complete their biometric verification at home through the *Saudi Visa Bio* app as soon as possible.
The ministry clarified that Saudi biometric verification is mandatory for the issuance of a Hajj visa. In cases where pilgrims are unable to complete biometrics through the mobile application, they can visit their nearest Saudi Tasheer Centers to complete the process before February 8.
