New Way to Check Official Umrah Travel Agencies to Avoid Scams
The Indonesian Ministry of Hajj is tightening oversight on Umrah travel organizers (PPIU) as the risk of cheap Umrah package scams on social media rises. People are urged to use the SatuHaji app to verify the legality and accreditation of travel agencies.
Kasubdit Pengembangan Umrah Edayanti Dasril stressed the protection of pilgrims as a top priority and asked prospective pilgrims not to be easily swayed by popularity without official checks.
Starting July 1, 2026, all Umrah and special hajj pilgrims passing through Soekarno-Hatta Airport must go through Special Terminal 2F. This integrated system combines all inspection processes, baggage, and zamzam water.
This measure shows national Umrah governance that’s tighter, more transparent, and system-based to close loopholes for illegal practices.
