Citizens and residents of GCC countries are now able to apply for an Umrah permit via the Nusuk or Tawakkalna applications after the successful end of this year’s Hajj season, Arab News reported.

The Nusuk application can be used to obtain the necessary permits to perform Umrah and visit the Holy Rawdah in the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, while Tawakkalna ensures that the applicant meets the necessary health requirements.
