Saudi Authorities Impose Fines for Hajj Visa Violations
Saudi Arabia will impose fines of up to 100,000 riyals on individuals applying for visit visas who have performed or attempted to perform Hajj without a permit. This measure aims to enforce regulations for the annual pilgrimage. The penalties apply to those who attempt to enter the city of Mecca or the holy sites without the correct pilgrimage authorization. Saudi Arabian security forces have detained several Egyptian nationals for violating Hajj pilgrimage regulations. The Ministry of Interior is actively pursuing individuals involved in Hajj-related fraud and scams.
