2026 guide for refugee travel document & stateless person document holders applying for Umrah
Important Notice
Perfect Umrah and Travels Limited is a private travel consultancy and is NOT a government agency, an embassy, or the official Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. We provide professional assistance and value-added services for Umrah Visa applications for a service fee. You can also apply for these services directly through official government websites at a lower cost or for free.
Can You Perform Umrah on a UK Travel Document?

If you hold a UK-issued Refugee Travel Document, Stateless Person's Document, or a 1951 Convention Travel Document instead of a national passport, an Umrah visa may still be possible — but the process is more complex and depends on current Saudi Ministry rules and your specific document type. Perfect Umrah & Travels has direct experience assisting travel document holders, including Sudanese, Somali, Eritrean, Syrian and other nationals who no longer hold a valid national passport. We assess each case individually before quoting or submitting your application, because acceptance is not guaranteed and depends on evolving Saudi entry policy.

IMPORTANT: Umrah visa approval for travel document holders is assessed on a case-by-case basis and is not guaranteed — this differs from standard passport applications. We strongly recommend contacting our visa team BEFORE booking any flights or hotels, so we can review your specific document type and UK immigration status first. Processing typically takes longer (2–4 weeks) due to the additional verification required. We will always be transparent with you if a particular case is unlikely to succeed, rather than take a booking we cannot deliver.

Travel Document Holders FAQ 2026
In many cases, yes — but it depends on your specific document type (Refugee Travel Document, Stateless Person's Document, or 1951 Convention Travel Document) and current Saudi Ministry of Hajj & Umrah policy, which can change. We assess every travel document case individually before confirming whether an application is likely to succeed.
A Refugee Travel Document is issued to individuals granted refugee status in the UK, allowing international travel in place of a national passport. A Stateless Person's Document serves a similar purpose for individuals recognised as stateless. Both differ from a 1951 Convention Travel Document. Each type may be treated differently by Saudi immigration — our team reviews your exact document before proceeding.
Saudi authorities apply extra verification for applicants without a national passport, as travel documents require additional cross-checking of identity and immigration status. This typically extends processing to 2–4 weeks compared to 5–10 days for standard passport holders.
No — we strongly advise against booking flights or hotels until we have reviewed your case and given an initial assessment. Because approval is not guaranteed for travel document holders, booking travel in advance carries financial risk if the visa application is unsuccessful.
You'll need your valid travel document, your BRP or Home Office status letter, UK bank statements, proof of address, passport photos, and a meningitis vaccination certificate. Additional documents may be requested during the Saudi consular review — our team will advise you of anything extra required for your case.
Our fee for travel document cases typically ranges £120–220, reflecting the additional case review and documentation support required. A consultation fee may apply for the initial case assessment. WhatsApp Hafiz Amir to discuss your specific document type before proceeding.
