The Ministry of Religious Affairs has initiated the second phase of the application process for the 2026 Government Hajj Scheme.

The ministry representative stated that prospective pilgrims can submit their applications through the ministry’s online platform and designated financial institutions.

The deadline for submitting applications and the initial installment of payments is August 16, 2025. This round also opens the program to individuals who did not register in the first phase.

Pakistanis residing abroad can apply through a close family member within Pakistan via designated banks. These international applicants must present their health certificates upon reaching Pakistan. The ministry spokesperson further clarified that applications will cease immediately once the allocated quota is reached.
