The registration process for this year's Hajj will start on May 16.
Pilgrims, who want to perform Hajj in Saudi Arabia, after a Covid-19-induced hiatus of two years, will have to complete the registration process by May 18, which is also the payment deadline.
Pilgrims need to have a passport with at least seven months’ validity (till January 4 next year) for completing the registration process, the ministry said.
If a pilgrim is unable to go to Saudi Arabia for Hajj post registration, he will be refunded the plane fare and the cost allocated for food.
However, if anyone cancels his trip after confirmation of the plane ticket, he will not get back the airfare.
Each pilgrim will have to carry an additional 810 Saudi Riyals (~Tk18,830) with them for sacrificial purposes, according to the ministry.
