The 2025 Haji Taskforce has announced March 13, 2025, as the final deadline for payment of the Hajj package. "No extension will be made to this deadline and therefore both would-be pilgrims and agents are admonished to op­erate with this deadline in mind as this is in the supreme interest of all," a statement issued in Accra and copied The Ghanaian Times said.

It said the decision follows directives from the Ministry of Hajj and Umra Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, aimed at ensuring a smooth and well-coor­dinated pilgrimage process for this year.

The taskforce urges all prospective pilgrims and accredited Hajj agents to expedite payments and complete all pre­paratory procedures within the stipulated timeline.

In its commitment to facilitating a seamless Hajj experience, the Taskforce has implemented measures to assist fully paid pilgrims in acquiring their passports with ease.
