Indonesia Opens Hajj Payment Period for 2027 Regular Pilgrims
Indonesia opened Hajj payments for 2027 regular pilgrims on Nov.
10, with the first stage running until Dec.
10.
The first stage is for pilgrims who deferred travel after paying, those allocated a place for the coming season and older pilgrims given priority.
The regular Hajj quota is 203,320 pilgrims, and the amount each person pays varies by departure airport after subsidies.
A second payment stage is planned for Dec.
16–31 if places remain after the first stage; it includes people who faced system problems and eligible pilgrims needing companions.
To pay, pilgrims must meet health and age requirements, have active health coverage and satisfy other eligibility rules.
Pilgrims must pay through an approved bank channel and then submit proof of payment to their local Ministry of Hajj and Umrah office so travel documents can be processed.
Indonesia has opened the first payment period for regular pilgrims performing the 2027 Hajj.
The first period runs from 10 November to 10 December 2026, on working days from 08:00 to 15:00 WIB.
A second payment period is scheduled for 16 to 31 December if places remain after the first period.
The government set the regular Hajj quota at 203,320 pilgrims.
Pilgrims’ payments vary by embarkation point after subsidies are applied.

What people are saying
We urge all regular Hajj pilgrims who are eligible to pay to observe the bank transaction deadline, undergo health checks to meet the health istitaah requirement, and ensure their BPJS Health membership is active.
This second payment stage serves as a safety net so that remaining places are filled appropriately, especially for pilgrims separated from family or older pilgrims who need official assistance, so that all provincial quotas are used to the maximum.
