Registered Hajj pilgrims from Bangladesh can begin submitting their visa applications through the Saudi Nusuk Masar digital system starting February 8.

According to the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the application window will remain open until March 20, covering pilgrims under both government and private management.

A press release issued by Mohammad Safiuzzaman Bhuiya, Deputy Secretary of the Hajj-1 Wing, emphasized that a valid health fitness certificate is a mandatory prerequisite for the visa.

Mandatory health examinations and vaccinations (including meningitis and influenza) are currently available at designated government hospitals across the country.

All pilgrims, including expatriates, must complete these medical check-ups and obtain their certificates by the March 20 deadline to be eligible for visa issuance.

The Ministry has urged all registered participants to prioritize these health screenings to avoid last-minute complications.

Following the visa processing phase, Hajj flights are tentatively scheduled to commence on April 18, 2026, as the nation prepares to send approximately 78,500 pilgrims to the Holy Land this year.
