Yes, the seasonal work visa, issued specifically for the Hajj season, may be used for that purpose. An entry fee of SAR1,000 is required. The stay duration for this visa is four months, non-renewable and non-convertible into a permanent work visa. Holders of seasonal work visas may enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia starting from the first day of Shawwal, but not before. The last permissible day for entry is the final day of Dhu al-Qidah. The duration of stay must not exceed the end of Muharram. The visa applicant is required to submit a financial guarantee of SAR2,000 for each worker to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. This amount is refundable once the ministry verifies that the worker has left the country, or the visa has been canceled.
