Eligible applicants for the Limited Balloting Scheme will pay S$100 (US$75) each time it is offered, but MUIS will subsidise the fee for the next two years.
The Limited Balloting Scheme was thus developed by MUIS"to quickly and efficiently allocate" any additional places which may be given by Saudi Arabia, while giving advance notice to prospective eligible pilgrims to be ready if they are willing and able to perform the Haj.
Those who fulfil the criteria, are performing the Haj for the first time and have registered in the AHRS between Jan 1, 2013 to Dec 31, 2017 will be invited by MUIS to apply for the LBS.Eligible applicants will be contacted via SMS and email, inviting them to register for the balloting exercise within a stipulated timeline.
MUIS advised those who are eligible to update their contact details through online portal MyHajSG if they are interested in participating in the balloting exercise. The fee - which is applicable every time the LBS is offered - is also"a commitment by the prospective pilgrim to be ready to perform the Haj if given the opportunity".
