Planning to perform Hajj in 2027? This guide explains how to register for Hajj 2027 in Sri Lanka, where to find the official Hajj Sri Lanka registration link, and the key dates and rules you cannot miss.
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has published the official timeline for Hajj Season 2027 (1448H), and Sri Lanka's Department of Muslim Religious and Cultural Affairs has confirmed everyone must follow it strictly. Here is what matters.
Where to register for Hajj 2027?
Sri Lankan pilgrims register for Hajj 2027 through the official portal: hajjsrilanka.com/reg.
After registering online, every major step — accommodation choices, fund transfers, visas, and the Hady contract — runs through the Nusuk Masar platform. To confirm your details, contact the Hajj and Umrah Committee and the Department of Muslim Religious and Cultural Affairs at No.180, T.B. Jayah Mawatha, Colombo-10, or visit www.muslimaffairs.gov.lk.

What the key stages mean
Preparations start early. From 15 July 2026, you must transfer about one-third of your Hajj cost to Saudi Arabia through the Nusuk Masar e-wallet. This payment secures your camp, service providers, and facilities.
29 July 2026 is a busy day. It covers camp retention, package contracting by the Sri Lanka Hajj Affairs Office, air carrier paperwork, Nusuk card distribution, and your accommodation choices (district, lodging type, and star rating). You must fully contract the comprehensive package by 23 January 2027.
For travel, visas are issued between 28 January and 9 March 2027, and pilgrims start arriving on 8 April 2027.
Four rules pilgrims cannot ignore
- Camp retention runs from 29 July to 13 August 2026 through early contracting with the Saudi Service Provider Company.
- Medical service providers are compulsory; contracting runs 14 August to 26 September 2026.
- A valid medical certificate is mandatory for every pilgrim.
- The Hady (sacrificial animal) contract must be completed exclusively through the Nusuk Masar platform.
What this means for you
Act early. Late fund transfers or missed medical and documentation deadlines can put your pilgrimage at risk. Register at hajjsrilanka.com/reg, move your funds on time through Nusuk Masar, and keep your medical certificate ready.
