Saudi Arabia tightens Hajj rules, requiring all pilgrims to obtain a permit via Nusuk platform.

Saudi Arabia has tightened rules for this year's Hajj pilgrimage, requiring all pilgrims to get a permit through the Nusuk platform. No visa automatically grants Hajj rights, and strict compliance is mandatory. The government warns against fraud and asks the public to report suspicious activities. Residents and pilgrims must have valid entry permits starting April 23 to enter Makkah, with enforcement at security checkpoints.
