Hajj 2026 applications are now open for the second phase. The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony has invited new applicants from August 11 to 16. This chance is for people who could not register in the first phase.
Easy Ways to Apply
Applicants can submit forms online through the ministry’s portal or at selected banks. This process makes it easy for everyone. By using both options, the ministry is helping people from all areas take part without trouble.
Special Facility for Overseas Pakistanis
Overseas Pakistanis can also apply. They may use close relatives in Pakistan to submit their forms. Medical fitness certificates can be given after they arrive in Pakistan. This helps those who live far away to join without delay.
First Phase Results and Total Quota
In the first phase, more than 71,000 applications were received. Pakistan’s quota for Hajj 2026 is 179,210 pilgrims. This large number shows the strong demand and love for the pilgrimage.
Package Options for Pilgrims
Two main packages are offered. The standard package lasts 38 to 42 days. The shorter package is 20 to 25 days. Prices range from Rs. 1.15 million to Rs. 1.25 million. The final cost will be set after agreements with Saudi service providers.
Smooth and Transparent Process
The Hajj is a major spiritual journey. The ministry aims to make the process smooth and fair. By using online forms and bank services, the system is faster and more transparent. This also helps manage the large number of applicants in an organized way.
Better Access for All
This year’s plan gives more flexibility. Both locals and overseas Pakistanis can take part. The phased approach allows the ministry to handle registrations better. It ensures that travel and stay arrangements go without problems.
