Labor Laws
An expired exit re-entry visa instantly invalidates an employee's Iqama status. Here's the application process and the most common mistakes to avoid.
Exit Re-Entry Visa Saudi Arabia — Complete Application Guide
An expatriate employee cannot leave Saudi Arabia and return without a valid exit re-entry visa. Without it, Iqama status is automatically affected upon travel.
Before you start
Confirm the actual travel dates and Iqama validity, both required before applying. Renewing the Iqama first may be necessary before issuing the visa.
Step-by-step process
Choose the type: single (one trip) or multiple (recurring travel over a longer period)
Issue the visa through the Absher platform after paying the prescribed fee
Confirm the visa stays valid through the planned return date, since expiry mid-travel affects Iqama validity
Documents and systems required
Valid Iqama, passport, and the Absher platform to issue and pay for the visa.
Timeline, cost and approval risks
Processing is typically immediate. The most common risk is exiting without a visa, or returning after the visa's validity has lapsed.
