Exit/re-entry visa fees
| Visa | Fee | Each extra month | Extension from abroad |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 200 SAR for up to 2 months | 100 SAR | 200 SAR a month |
| Multiple | 500 SAR for up to 3 months | 200 SAR | 400 SAR a month |
Each family member needs their own visa at the same fee. Fees are not refunded if you cancel the visa. Your passport should be valid for at least 90 days, your iqama must cover the trip, and any traffic fines must be paid first.
Who pays?
Under article 40 of the Saudi Labor Law, the employer pays the worker's own exit/re-entry visa and the return ticket home when the contract ends. Your family's visas and the dependent fee are usually yours to pay, unless your contract says otherwise.
Final exit
- There is no visa fee. The visa is valid for 60 days; if you do not leave in time, there is a 1,000 SAR fine.
- Before it is issued: pay any traffic fines, the dependent fee due and other government fees.
- Collect your end-of-service benefit and final salary. Our end-of-service calculator shows how much it should be.
Not coming back in time
In January 2024 Jawazat cancelled the 3-year ban on workers who left on an exit/re-entry visa and did not return before it expired.
