Pilgrims in Pakistan can now apply for the 2027 Hajj through a second payment window. The government has set October 20 as the final deadline to retain spots. Applicants must upload a certified medical fitness certificate before making payments.
The Hajj scheme, managed by the government, arranges pilgrimage services in Saudi Arabia. Those who miss the October 20 deadline will lose their applications and receive refunds for previous deposits.
This payment phase is for those applying for the 2027 Hajj. The scheme has been a key part of Pakistan’s religious and diplomatic engagement with Saudi Arabia. The second window aims to accommodate more applicants and ensure smoother processing.
The Hajj program has historically been a major source of income for Pakistan, with thousands of citizens participating each year. Recent changes to the application process reflect efforts to improve efficiency and compliance with health and safety standards. The deadline underscores the urgency for pilgrims to complete their registrations.
