Expatriate residents in Saudi Arabia who are found performing Hajj rituals without a permit will face deportation and a ban on reentry, as announced by the Ministry of Interior on its X account.

Public Security has confirmed that a fine of 10,000 riyals will be imposed on anyone, including Saudi citizens, residents, or visitors, found violating Hajj regulations in areas where obtaining a Hajj permit is mandatory.

Expatriates will be deported to their home countries and barred from reentering the Kingdom for periods specified by law.

Public Security also emphasized that repeat offenders will face doubled fines, highlighting the importance of adhering to Hajj regulations to ensure the safety, comfort, and peace of pilgrims.

Individuals caught transporting Hajj violators without a permit will face up to six months in jail and a fine of up to 50,000 riyals. Resident violators will be deported after serving their sentence and barred from reentering the Kingdom for specified periods as stipulated by law. The fine will increase with the number of transported violators.

The ministry has urged citizens to report violations by contacting toll-free number 911 in Mecca, Riyadh, and Eastern regions, or 999 in other regions of the Kingdom.
