World’s First Proof of Concept for Pre-clearance of Hajj Pilgrims at KLIA

The world’s first proof of concept for preclearance of Hajj pilgrims at the point of departure was conducted for the first time at KLIA on 24 August 2018. This was an initiative led by the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) under KSA Vision 2030. This initiative is aimed at facilitating the arrivals of all pilgrims into KSA. Specifically, this initiative will eliminate the need for long queues by pilgrims at immigration points in KSA.
