Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Intention is from the heart. If one has the intention to perform Hajj in his heart, that is sufficient. He does not have to verbally state his intention. However one of the conditions of entering into the state of Ihram is to verbally mention the talbiya i.e.:
[Badaiu sanai V 2 PG 308 Darul Kitab Deoband]
[Sharhul Wiqaaya Pg326 Al Misbah]
And Allah knows best

َأَمَّا شَرْطُهُ وَوَاجِبَاتُهُ فَشَرْطُهُ النِّيَّةُ ، وَهُوَ أَصْلُ النِّيَّةِ دُونَ التَّعْيِينِ ، وَأَنَّ نِيَّةَ الْحَجِّ عِنْدَ الْإِحْرَامِ كَافِيَةٌ ، وَلَا يَحْتَاجُ إلَى نِيَّةٍ مُفْرَدَةٍ كَمَا فِي سَائِرِ أَفْعَالِ الْحَجِّ ، وَكَمَا فِي أَفْعَالِ الصَّلَاةِ .

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
