Sort out the admin

Umrah Pre-Departure Checklist

Documents, money, connectivity and home admin to sort out before you fly — not what to pack.

Before you even think about what goes in your suitcase, there’s a shorter list of admin and logistics tasks worth getting out of the way — confirming your visa, sorting your health and money essentials, and making sure things at home are covered while you’re gone. This checklist covers exactly that. Looking for what to physically pack instead? See our Packing Checklist.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the Packing Checklist?

The Packing Checklist is about physical items to put in your bag — clothing, toiletries, Ihram. This Pre-Departure Checklist is about admin and logistics tasks to complete beforehand, like confirming your visa, notifying your bank and sorting out connectivity.

When should I start working through this checklist?

Most items are worth starting a few weeks before departure — vaccination certificates and visa confirmation can take time — with the last few (bank notifications, offline maps, sharing your itinerary) done in the final days before you fly.

Does it save my progress?

Yes. Every item you tick off is saved automatically in your browser, so you can close the page and pick up where you left off later.

Can I print it?

Yes — use the "Print checklist" button to get a clean, printer-friendly version with the site navigation and buttons hidden, ready to work through by hand.
