Pilgrims will need to submit biometric visa applications in order to perform Hajj this year, as the Saudi government has made this mandatory for all pilgrims.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs is taking the necessary action in this regard, according to a ministry circular.
Hajj pilgrims were requested to refrain from turning in their passports to the Ashkona Hajj office. People who have already submitted their passports were requested to take them back.
Hajj pilgrims will be given updated information from time to time, the circular said.
This year, a total of 1.27lakh Bangladeshis will perform Hajj.
