This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Petition Urge Saudi Government abolish repeated Umrah fee of £400 for British Pilgrims.
The fee of £400 was introduced two years ago by Saudi government if a second Umrah visa is requested within two years. This is a big burden upon British Pilgrim families. We may understand if the fee was was within a year but within two years it too much! Same fee abolished for some countries.

My wife and I had to pay over £800 of Umrah visa fee in December 2018 because we performed Umrah in April 2017. Currently the same visa fee was abolished for Egyptian, Turkish and Pakistani Nationals after their governments interfered.
