Pakistan’s Hajj quota for 2025 is 179,210, split equally between the government and the private sector. Children under the age of 12 are not allowed to travel.

The government will conduct computerized balloting for the government quota. It has set aside 1,000 seats for hardship cases and 300 for low-income workers registered with the Workers Welfare Fund or Employees Old Age Benefits Institution.

Under the 2025 policy, pilgrims can pay their Hajj expenses in instalments. The application requires a down payment of Rs200,000. Successful applicants will need to pay an additional Rs400,000 within 14 days. The remaining balance is due by February 10, 2025.
