ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Religious Affairs has requested all Hajj pilgrims to provide complete and correct data to the respective bank branches by December 12.

They warned that incorrect or incomplete information would delay or cancel their Hajj visa.

The pilgrims have to provide their photo, passport, and medical certificate exactly as required by the Saudi visa regulations. Bank staff will check the documents and call the pilgrims if any detail does not meet Saudi standards, including photographs and certificates.

The ministry highlighted that any mistakes in the personal information, documents, or photos can cause great delays. It has advised the pilgrims to immediately correct and resubmit any incorrect data to avoid problems.

Officials stressed that since Saudi guidelines need to be followed strictly, the banks will not process the visas with wrong or mismatched information. The responsibility for correct submissions lies solely with the pilgrims.
