Pilgrims Affairs Office of Ghana Closes Hajj 2026 Registration Process

The Pilgrims Affairs Office of Ghana (PAOG) has announced the closure of the registration process for Hajj 2026.

In a statement, it said all operational processes leading to this year’s Hajj, including payments, documentation and submission of passports, were concluded on Tuesday, February 17.

It noted that only prospective pilgrims who submitted their passports and all required documents within the stipulated time frame were considered for the visa process, as visa processing could not commence without full compliance with the documentation requirements.

“It is important to note that early payment, medical screening, and timely submission of passports are measures that significantly streamline hajj operations.”

Announcing the completion of medical screening in the selected regions and centres, it stated that the remaining screenings for the Ashanti and Greater Accra Regions are scheduled for February 22 and 28, respectively.

“Prospective pilgrims and stakeholders are advised to await further official communication regarding subsequent phases of the pilgrimage,” it directed.
