The government has further extended the Hajj visa processing time till May 11.
An official handout on Wednesday said the application deadline for Hajj pilgrims to ensure visa processing was extended for five more days till Saturday, reports BSS.
The timeframe of application submission for visas was fixed till April 29. However as the visa processing was not completed within this period, the time was extended to Tuesday in the first phase, it reads.
As many of the 259 private Hajj agencies could not complete the visa processing within this extended period, the time frame was extended in the second phase, the release added.
The Hajj Department of the Ministry of Religious Affairs issued a letter to all Hajj agencies in this regard, saying that if the visa process is not completed within this extended period, the concerned agency will have to take responsibility.
