In order to receive Hajj permission you will need to bring:
• A copy of your Iqama / National ID
• Three passport photos

Please note: there is a five year restriction. If you performed Hajj within the last five years, you will not be able to do it this year.
5. Submit your application and make your payment: For your convenience, representatives from each campaign will be at KAUST to collect all your papers and payments. Please come to the Island Recreation Center on Saturday and Sunday, October 6-7, 2012 starting at 5:30 p.m. to submit your application, documents, and payments (cash only).
Government Affairs is coordinating this effort to ensure your comfort and convenience. The department is not liable for the performance of any of the companies listed above. If you wish to choose a separate company, we will be happy to assist you with steps 2 through 4.
