Saudi Arabia has allocated 900 Haj slots to Singapore for 2027, the same number as in 2025 and 2026, with pilgrims selected first-come, first-served via MUIS’s MyHajSG portal.

Pilgrims must pass an enhanced medical assessment including clinical exams and tests, with complex cases reviewed by a Haj Medical Panel to ensure fitness for the pilgrimage.

Applicants must complete assessments by Oct 13 and accept their letters of intent by Oct 18; priority is given to those aged 70 and above, and unauthorised Haj services are strongly discouraged.

SINGAPORE – Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MOHU) has allocated 900 places to Singapore for Haj 2027, and prospective pilgrims here have to undergo an enhanced medical assessment in order to comply with its requirements .

Pilgrims for Haj 2027, which is expected to take place from May 14 to May 19, will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis through the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore’s (MUIS) MyHajSG portal, said the organisation in a press statement on Sept 4.

Applicants who registered before March 7, 2014 will receive their letter of intent via the portal from Sept 14.

Before a Haj visa is issued, MOHU requires pilgrims to undergo a mandatory enhanced medical assessment, be certified free from disqualifying chronic conditions, and be physically capable of performing Haj independently, noted MUIS .

MUIS said that it has appointed medical service providers to conduct the assessment, which includes a clinical examination, blood tests, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, and mobility assessment.

“Applicants with complex medical cases will be referred to a Haj Medical Panel comprising experienced medical professionals for further assessment.

“This will provide applicants who require further medical review with greater clarity on their fitness to undertake Haj,” the organisation said.

Applicants are required to complete their assessment by Oct 13 at their own cost and are advised to register for their assessment early. Details of the appointed medical service providers and registration arrangements are available on the MUIS website at go.gov.sg/haj2027

Those certified medically fit will have to accept their letter of intent through the MyHajSG portal by Oct 18.

MUIS also said that eligible applicants who are medically fit and have accepted their letter of intent will receive a letter of offer from Oct 20 onwards. They must then purchase their Haj package from a MUIS-appointed travel agent by Nov 2.

Applicants aged 70 and above will be given priority consideration for the offer.

MOHU has also informed the various Haj Affairs Offices that countries may be required to bear costs arising from non-compliance with these requirements, added MUIS. Pilgrims who are found to have disqualifying medical conditions when they are in Saudi Arabia may also be liable for medical costs not covered by insurance.

For clarifications on the medical health requirements, application process, or any other matters related to Haj 2027, applicants are advised to refer to the Frequently Asked Questions section on the MUIS website.

“MUIS encourages all applicants to be financially, physically, mentally and spiritually ready for this sacred journey... MUIS remains committed to supporting pilgrims through a smooth and transparent Haj process, with their health and safety as a key priority,” the body said.

It added that the public should not engage Haj-related serviced from unauthorised individuals or travel agents, as they may be exposed to significant financial risks or denial of entry into Saudi Arabia or deportation. Any encounters with such agents should be reported to the police.

沙特阿拉伯已为新加坡分配了 2027 年 900 个朝觐名额，与 2025 年和 2026 年的数量相同，朝觐者将通过新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会 (MUIS) 的 MyHajSG 门户网站按先到先得的方式进行选择。

朝圣者必须通过更严格的体检，包括临床检查和测试，复杂病例将由朝觐医疗小组进行审查，以确保其适合朝觐。

申请人必须在 10 月 13 日前完成评估，并在 10 月 18 日前接受意向书；优先考虑 70 岁及以上人士，强烈不鼓励未经授权的朝觐服务。

新加坡——沙特阿拉伯朝觐和副朝部（MOHU）已为新加坡分配了 900 个 2027 年朝觐名额，有意前往新加坡朝觐的人士必须接受更严格的体检，以符合其要求。

新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）在9月4日的一份新闻稿中表示，预计于2027年5月14日至19日举行的朝觐将通过MUIS的MyHajSG门户网站按先到先得的方式分配。

在 2014 年 3 月 7 日之前注册的申请人将从 9 月 14 日起通过门户网站收到意向书。

据伊斯兰教理事会（MUIS）指出，在签发朝觐签证之前，伊斯兰教部要求朝觐者接受强制性的强化体检，证明其没有不符合资格的慢性疾病，并且身体能够独立完成朝觐。

新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）表示，已委任医疗服务提供商进行评估，评估内容包括临床检查、血液检查、胸部 X 光检查、心电图检查和行动能力评估。

“有复杂医疗情况的申请人将被转介给由经验丰富的医疗专业人员组成的朝觐医疗小组进行进一步评估。

该组织表示：“这将为需要进一步体检的申请人提供更清晰的关于他们是否适合进行朝觐的相关信息。”

申请人须于10月13日前自费完成评估，建议尽早报名参加评估。指定医疗服务机构及报名安排详情请见新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）网站：go.gov.sg/haj2027

通过体检合格者必须在 10 月 18 日前通过 MyHajSG 门户网站接受意向书。

新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）还表示，符合资格且身体健康并已接受意向书的申请人将从10月20日起陆续收到录取通知书。他们必须在11月2日前通过MUIS指定的旅行社购买朝觐套餐。

70岁及以上的申请人将获得优先考虑。

伊斯兰教理事会补充说，伊斯兰教事务部已通知各朝觐事务办公室，各国可能需要承担因不遵守这些规定而产生的费用。此外，在沙特阿拉伯境内被发现患有不符合朝觐资格的疾病的朝觐者，也可能需要承担保险未涵盖的医疗费用。

有关 2027 年朝觐的健康要求、申请流程或任何其他相关事宜的说明，建议申请人参考 MUIS 网站上的常见问题解答部分。

“MUIS鼓励所有申请者在经济、身体、心理和精神上为这段神圣的旅程做好准备……MUIS将继续致力于通过顺畅透明的朝觐流程为朝圣者提供支持，并将他们的健康和安全作为首要任务，”该机构表示。

声明还指出，公众不应通过未经授权的个人或旅行社办理朝觐相关服务，否则可能面临重大经济风险，甚至被拒绝入境沙特阿拉伯或被驱逐出境。如遇此类情况，应立即向警方报案。
