EN.malanginspirasi.com – The Saudi Arabian government has announced it will not issue Hajj Furoda visas for the 2026 Hajj season. The policy was officially confirmed by Indonesia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (Kemenhaj RI), which is urging the public to remain vigilant against numerous offers for “Hajj Furoda” or “Hajj without queue” packages circulating on social media.
Deputy Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak made the confirmation directly.
“There is none. This year Saudi Arabia is not issuing Hajj Furoda visas. The only legal visa is the official Hajj visa,” he stated at the Kemenhaj office in Jakarta on Thursday, April 9, 2026.
Dahnil added that the surge in offers for instant Hajj departures should be treated with extreme caution, as they carry a high risk of being scams or illegal Hajj schemes.

In response, Kemenhaj has joined forces with the Indonesian National Police (Polri) to establish a Joint Task Force for the Prevention of Illegal Hajj, aimed at protecting prospective pilgrims from fraudulent offers.
Hajj Furoda has traditionally been known as a non-quota route that allowed pilgrims to depart faster without joining the regular government quota waiting list.
However, under this year’s Saudi policy, the only visas officially recognized are the standard Hajj visa and the special Hajj visa, both managed through Indonesia’s national quota system.
Kemenhaj strongly advises the public not to be lured by promises of “Hajj without queue” packages, which are typically sold at extremely high prices by unauthorized parties. Prospective pilgrims are encouraged to verify the legitimacy of any organizer through the officially licensed Special Hajj Organizers (PIHK) under the Ministry of Religious Affairs and to use only Hajj visas issued by the Saudi Arabian government through official government-to-government channels.
