The Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs is providing a unique opportunity for 100 citizens to perform the Hajj pilgrimage free of charge. This initiative targets individuals who have never undertaken the sacred journey, fulfilling a key religious obligation for more people across the archipelago.

To be eligible, applicants must be Indonesian citizens, at least 18 years old, and crucially, must not have previously performed the Hajj. This ensures the benefit reaches those who have long aspired to make the pilgrimage but faced financial or other barriers.

The application period is now open and will close on July 10, 2026. The ministry is facilitating this program as part of its ongoing commitment to support citizens in fulfilling their religious duties.

Further details regarding the application process and specific requirements are available through the ministry's official channels. This program underscores the government's efforts to make the Hajj pilgrimage more accessible.
