      You need to be wearing your Ihram clothing to get near the Kaaba. And going early doesn’t guarantee first row. As people are doing tawaf, they only line up about 20 minutes before salat time. You need to try and be somewhere around the first row during this time and hopefully you can get first row.

    I have had a very similar experience with Curve. I have never had issues with using my card abroad, as close as Ireland, and as far a Canada. When I landed in Saudi Arabia, I paid for the visa on arrival with my curve card. The airport staff said my card was declined, and without an internet connection at the time(Jeddah airport Wifi sucks), I couldn't check the app. On the third attempt, the card went through. A few days later, I find that the first transaction actually went through, second transaction was charged and refunded, and third one went through. I then turned to Curve to try dispute that transaction for about 3 months now and to no avail. Spent a lot of effort and time contacting them through their in-app customer support and emails. All of this effort to get back £83.06. A lot of the curve features really appeal to me, and I've used my curve card for 99% of my card transactions for 6.5 years, and have spent well over 6 figures in that time between work and personal expenses. All that 'loyalty' for nothing it seems.

      If the landing time is more than 3 hours later than the scheduled arrival time, you are entitled to compensation under EU261 regulation. You should be able to submit a claim to them. Only reason they may be able to get out of paying is if the delay was not caused by them e.g. weather, ATC delay, etc.

      Try a different browser. Otherwise you can take the risk and skip it and see if it issues the visa.

    Salam When i click on the duration of stay it only gives me the option of 180 days. Now ive gotten the evw it sayd valid for 3 months but duration of stay says 180 days. I inputted my arrival and departure dates and it still only gives the option of 180 days in the duration of stay section. Will this be an issue? Jzk

    • @TheTravelTipsGuy
      @TheTravelTipsGuy หลายเดือนก่อน

      180 days is the max you can stay. It will default to that when you put your dates in so nothing to worry about.

    Thanks, man. I have just received my Curve card and, after watching your video, I think I won't activate it. I'll stick with Starling.

      Good choice. Starling or Monzo or chase are good alternatives.

    Salam. This is helpful, to the point. Question : Do you need to get travel insurance with this E-Waiver?- Do they ask/check? planning for ummrah on this visa. Are you able yo enter Rawdah on this visa? / Nusuk

    • @TheTravelTipsGuy
      @TheTravelTipsGuy หลายเดือนก่อน

      Travel insurance isn’t required although you may still want to get it just in case you need to use their health facilities. You can book a rawda slot once you have your visa number. Don’t forget to also book an umrah permit on the nusuk app too.

    Salam brother, this is one of the hardest visas to apply for because their websites are a mess !! I’m unable to upload any pictures because it keeps saying “photo must have white background and in uniform” ?! They are with white backgrounds and what does the uniform mean ?? Jzk

    • @TheTravelTipsGuy
      @TheTravelTipsGuy หลายเดือนก่อน

      I can only think uniform probably means it needs to be a square image or a standard sized image. I had an issue where it complained about the size so I sent it to myself via WhatsApp which reduced the size and that worked.

    Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh brother, I was looking for reviews on hotels as I am going umrah inshallah with my husband. This would be our first umrah or “holiday” as a married couple. So was looking for something that was nearby and pleasant looking. From uk London. I wanted to know as you mentioned Sofitel is more Morden but also said you have stayed at Dar al Iman. What would you recommend?

    • @TheTravelTipsGuy
      @TheTravelTipsGuy หลายเดือนก่อน

      For medina try the Sofitel and Hilton. Dar Al Iman is ok but for two people you can find better and closer options.

      @@nadiakhan973 I stayed at the Swissotel in the clock tower due to it being a good price and location. Any of the hotels in the clock tower are a good location. The Intercontinental also has a prime location, probably better than the clock tower. The Jabal Omar area is set further back and therefore requires a longer(still relatively short) walk to the Haram.

    This is exactly the video I’ve been needing, will be taking my first solo trip abroad to Budapest for 4 nights in November flying with Wizz air, slightly nervous and a tad worried as 90% of reviews online aren’t the best 😂 however you answered a fair few questions that I simply couldn’t find anywhere else at all online. So thank you! 🙏

      Also just whilst I’m here I have an odd question. At any point in the days weeks months etc of you checking in via the app. Did it ever say your check in was the day after your flight? For some reason my check in times for both flights are showing as 24 hours after the flights have left. So I’m also concerned regarding that 😂

    • @TheTravelTipsGuy
      @TheTravelTipsGuy หลายเดือนก่อน

      Glad the video helped. I’ve not noticed any bug as you describe. Best to check 1) app 2) website 3) pdf ticket Check which one is different. It could just be a glitch in whatever is displaying the incorrect check in time.

      No restrictions with the visa. I have heard some airlines applying their own rules on zamzam water and adding additional restrictions. Some saudi airline staff seem to think that you can’t bring it on a tourist visa but that is incorrect.

      Firstly try the inquiry for applied requests section on this page visa.mofa.gov.sa/Home/Index. If that doesn't work, try contacting the support line +966920011114 or emailing them customercare@mofa.gov.sa.

    Jazak Allahu khairan for your informative video. It's a lot of hassle having to check in again on the way. I would need a suitcase on my return, too, so might be better going with Saudi. I prefer going Medina first, so would want the train to connect from the airport. Landing at North terminal is a hassle.

    • @TheTravelTipsGuy
      @TheTravelTipsGuy หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes it can make sense to take Saudi or another full service carrier.
