ISLAMABAD – The Ministry of Religious Affairs has officially extended the application deadline for the Private Hajj Scheme 2026 until October 22, allowing more time for prospective pilgrims to secure their spots.

The extension comes as part of efforts to ensure the full utilization of Pakistan’s private Hajj quota. According to a ministry spokesperson, approximately 55,500 pilgrims have already registered through authorized private tour operators, leaving around 4,500 slots still open.

Officials emphasized that the decision to extend the deadline was made to accommodate those who have yet to finalize their travel plans. The ministry urged all interested individuals to complete their bookings promptly to avoid missing the opportunity to perform Hajj under the private scheme.

The Private Hajj Scheme 2026 offers flexibility and customized services for pilgrims seeking a more personalized experience. With final arrangements for Hajj 2026 approaching, the ministry is working closely with private operators to streamline logistics and ensure a smooth pilgrimage for all participants.
