Overview – Government Hajj Scheme 2026

The Ministry of Religious Affairs & Interfaith Harmony (MORA), Government of Pakistan, Islamabad, is pleased to announce that applications for Hajj 2026 (1447 A.H.) under the Government Hajj Scheme will be accepted from 4th August 2025 to 16th August 2025. During this initial phase, only those applicants who are already registered with the Ministry will be eligible to submit their applications. In the event that the number of registered applicants falls short of the government-assigned quota, unregistered applicants may also be allowed to apply.

The Government Hajj Scheme has been categorized into two packages under the Regular Hajj Scheme: the Long Hajj Package and the Short Hajj Package. All applications will be processed strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.

The estimated cost of the Government Hajj Scheme ranges from Rs. 1,150,000 to Rs. 1,250,000, payable in installments. The first installment will be collected from 4th August to 9th August 2025 for registered applicants, and from 11th to 16th August 2025 for both registered/unregistered applicants, until the assigned Hajj quota is fully allocated on a first-come, first-served basis according to the selected package below:

  • Long Package: Rs. 500,000

  • Short Package: Rs. 550,000

The remaining balance, including final costs and any elective options such as the bedroom option, will be announced later by MORA.
