2025 Hajj Costs and Regular Hajj Registration Process Explained

Performing Hajj is a noble aspiration for Muslims worldwide. As the fifth pillar of Islam, this spiritual journey requires thorough preparation, spiritually, physically, and financially. If you plan to join the regular Hajj program, understanding the registration process, cost estimates, and steps to embark on your journey to the Holy Land is essential.

 

The government of Indonesia organizes the regular Hajj program through the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This option is highly popular due to its affordability. However, the waiting period can be lengthy, making early preparation crucial for a smooth pilgrimage experience.

 

So, what does the registration process entail, and how much will the 2025 Hajj cost? Read on for the complete guide!

 

What Is the Regular Hajj Program?

 

The regular Hajj program is organized by the Directorate General of Hajj and Umrah (Dirjen PHU) under the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This program offers standard facilities at a more affordable cost compared to the special Hajj (Hajj Plus) program. However, the waiting period can span several years, depending on your registration area.

 

According to the Ministry of Religious Affairs, here are the requirements for registering for the regular Hajj:

 

Regular Hajj Registration Requirements:

 
  • Be a Muslim and at least 12 years old at the time of registration.
  • Possess official identification documents such as a national ID (KTP), family card (KK), and supporting documents (birth certificate or marriage certificate).
  • Open a Hajj savings account at one of the Hajj Deposit Recipient Banks (BPS-BPIH), such as Bank Muamalat.
  • Make an initial deposit of at least IDR 25 million into your Hajj savings account.
  • Provide recent passport-sized photos (3x4) with a white background and modest attire in accordance with Islamic guidelines.

 

Steps to Register for the Regular Hajj

 

Before registering for the regular Hajj, you need to save a minimum of IDR 25 million for the initial deposit. Start by opening a Hajj savings account at an approved BPS-BPIH bank. One popular choice is the Tabungan iB Hijrah Haji from Bank Muamalat. Known as the first pure Sharia-compliant bank in Indonesia and a subsidiary of Badan Pengelola Keuangan Haji (BPKH), Bank Muamalat offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Direct integration with the Ministry of Religious Affairs' SISKOHAT (Integrated Hajj Information and Computerization System).
  • A simple and fast account opening process.
  • Low initial deposits, starting from just IDR 100,000, allowing you to save according to your capacity.
  • Family-friendly facilities, including accounts for children.

 

Once you've saved IDR 25 million, the bank will issue a deposit receipt and validation number—important documents required for the next registration steps.

 

1. Register at the Ministry of Religious Affairs Office

After fulfilling the initial deposit requirement, visit your local Ministry of Religious Affairs office to complete your registration. Prepare the following documents:

  • Initial deposit receipt from Bank Muamalat.
  • Copies of your ID, family card, and supporting documents (marriage or birth certificate).
  • Recent passport-sized photos.
  • Hajj savings account details.

 

The staff will validate your documents and issue a Hajj quota number (Nomor Porsi), confirming your registration as a prospective Hajj pilgrim. This number allows you to track your estimated departure schedule.

 

2. Check Your Estimated Departure Date

Using your Hajj quota number, you can check your estimated departure date through the Ministry of Religious Affairs' official website or the SISKOHAT app. Waiting times vary by region, typically ranging from 10 to 20 years.

 

2025 Regular Hajj Cost Breakdown

 

According to the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Commission VIII of the House of Representatives (DPR), the 2025 Hajj Organizing Fee (BPIH) is set at IDR 89,410,258.79 per pilgrim, reflecting a decrease from the previous year. The cost is divided into:

  • IDR 55,431,750.78 to be paid by the pilgrim as the Hajj Travel Fee (Bipih).
  • IDR 33,978,508.01, covered by the benefits of the Hajj fund investment.

 

Prospective pilgrims should prepare an additional IDR 30 million for final payment, as the initial IDR 25 million deposit is already accounted for. The final payment is typically required a few months before departure.
