The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues to tighten supervision of pilgrims performing the pilgrimage in Mecca. In fact, the government of the Arab kingdom places official document checking officers. One of the required documents for entering Mecca to be examined is the Hajj visa.

Hajj visas cannot be replaced with other types, including visas for Umrah, visits, tours, or other visas that are not related to the pilgrimage.

In addition to the Hajj visa, pilgrims must also understand the importance of having a Nusuk Card, namely a Hajj permit that can be obtained through the official Nusuk (nusuk.sa) platform. The platform is integrated with Tasreeh services, a centralized system that is used to manage various permits to enter Mecca and other holy places in Saudi Arabia.

Reporting from the official website of the Indonesian Ministry of Religion, there are three main functions of the Nusuk card that must be owned by the Hajj participants, namely as follows.

Legal and licensed pilgrims will get a Nusuk Card through sharia, which is a company that has a permit to manage Hajj services. The distribution of cards itself will be supervised by Hajj Organizers (PPIH). Later the officer will give a card to the congregation according to the stipulated rules.

Nusuk cards are also available digitally so they can be downloaded via smartphone. This download is highly recommended to anticipate the loss of cards when holding a series of Hajj services. It is recommended to understand how to download the 2023 Hajj certificate in the Nusuk application.
