SINGAPORE – Some 900 prospective pilgrims for the haj in 2025 will receive their offer letters from the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) from Nov 5.

       Those selected will be notified via SMS and e-mail, said Muis in a press release on Nov 1.

       Selected pilgrims should be checked by medical professionals to verify that they are medically fit as the Saudi haj authorities require them to be in good physical health to perform religious rituals, the council said.

       Upon receiving the notification, prospective pilgrims can log in to the MyHajSG portal to check their offer letter. To confirm their place, they must buy their haj package from an authorised travel agent, and fulfil other requirements listed on the portal by Nov 17.

       Muis has approved 11 travel agents, which offer a total of 28 approved haj packages.

       These packages are priced between $8,970 and $26,995 for stays of up to 27 days. They cost an average of $16,178 — $2,000 more than the year before because of higher costs.

       The prices include Masyair services and medical services in the Holy Lands, such as the medical clinic operated by the Singapore Pilgrims’ Affairs Office and emergency medical assistance.

       By signing up, I accept SPH Media's Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy as amended from time to time.

       Masyair refers to the movement of pilgrims within Saudi Arabia for the haj rituals.

       However, the prices do not include airfare, which is up to $3,100 for a typical economy seat. Prospective pilgrims are also advised to buy additional travel insurance, Muis said.
