The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah of Saudi Arabia has announced the beginning of the condition to register the biometric enrollment “fingerprint” to issue Umrah Visa online for people vising the country from Bangladesh, UK, Tunisia, Kuwait, and Malaysia.
The decision aims to ease the entry procedures through the Kingdom's ports and improve the digital experience for the pilgrims, reports Zawya.
In order to register their fingerprints, one has to download the “Saudi Visa Bio” app on their smartphone. Later, they will have to press on the passport scan to verify their identity.
The individual then has to take a full-face picture with their phone's front camera and match it with the picture on their passport.
Then they will be asked to scan 10 fingerprints electronically via the camera.
