Anyone planning a pilgrimage to Makkah and Madinah entrusts sensitive travel documents and personal data. When applying for a visa for Saudi Arabia, many travelers want to know exactly who they are dealing with. Umrah Hilfe offers you a reliable contact based in Frankfurt am Main, guiding you step-by-step through the application process.
Preparing for a pilgrimage requires peace of mind and focus. When dealing with your visa, the last thing you want is confusing portals, faulty forms, or dealing with obscure agencies abroad. Umrah Hilfe combines the speed of a digital application process with the security and trust of an established contact in Germany.
Who We Are: Your Contact in Frankfurt am Main
Umrah Hilfe is a specialized online service operated by AZNA Marketing, based in Frankfurt am Main. We provide personal assistance to pilgrims across Germany who value a clear, comprehensible, and reliable process.
All communication takes place directly with our team. Whether you reach out by email or WhatsApp, you communicate with real specialists who answer your questions directly and provide dependable guidance. Official notifications, application confirmations, and invoices are sent by email so you have all documents neatly filed in one place.
What We Do – and What We Deliberately Do Not Do
We define our scope clearly: We apply for your Saudi eVisa on your behalf directly through the official platform of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We check your details prior to submission, adjust documents to comply with official requirements, and ensure smooth electronic processing. For a complete overview of the general requirements, read our guide on the Umrah Visa from Germany.
What we explicitly are not:
- Not a tour operator: We are not a tour operator pursuant to § 651a BGB and do not sell travel packages.
- Not an airline: We do not issue flight tickets or manage flight bookings.
- Not a hotel broker: We do not book accommodation directly on your behalf.
This separation allows you to maintain full control and flexibility over your travel itinerary. You decide when to fly, which hotel to stay in, and how long to remain in Makkah or Madinah. If you are departing from the Rhine-Main area, you will often face logistical questions: Is it better to fly to Jeddah or directly to Madinah?

Many pilgrims travel together with their families or in groups. Our system supports joint registrations for multiple travelers in a single submission.
Each traveler receives an individual file with their specific documents, while children are linked to a parent or guardian. The service fee of €37.50 applies per person. Upon request, we issue a single consolidated invoice to the main applicant to keep group payments straightforward.
Important Regulations Regarding the Visa and Umrah
The visa issued is the official Saudi eVisa (tourist eVisa), which fully entitles you to perform Umrah. A separate "Umrah visa" is not required. The visa is valid for 365 days from the date of issue and allows multiple entries. Across all trips, your total stay in Saudi Arabia must not exceed 90 days (cumulatively, not per entry).
In addition to your valid visa, you only need the free Umrah permit, which you book independently via the official Nusuk app. No extra agency service package is required. During the annual Hajj season, the visa permits general entry into Saudi Arabia, but performing Umrah is not permitted by the authorities.
You can review official travel information via the Federal Foreign Office and Umrah permit details via the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.
Data Privacy and Secure Communication
The protection of your personal information is our priority. Passport scans and sensitive details should never be sent via unencrypted messenger apps. Please use only the secure upload form on our website.
If you have questions about the required documents or the status of your application, reach us by phone or WhatsApp at +49 1522 769 0821 or by email at info@umrah-hilfe.de.
