Saudi Arabia Blocks Hajj 2025 Visas for 14 Countries — Including India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh!
In a shocking move, Saudi Arabia has temporarily banned visa issuance for pilgrims from 14 countries. Among the most impacted are India and Pakistan, which send some of the largest numbers of Hajj pilgrims every year. The ban also affects Indonesia, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and Egypt.
Citing crowd control and safety after 1,200+ deaths in Hajj 2024, Saudi claims it’s a necessary reform. But is there more to this story?
With Vision 2030, tighter controls, and rising accusations of politicizing religion, is Saudi Arabia using Hajj as a tool of soft power?
