How much does an exit re-entry visa cost, and how long can it be?

Jawazat's fee table lists SAR 200 for a single exit re-entry visa covering one trip of up to two months, plus SAR 100 for each extra month, and SAR 500 for a multiple visa covering up to three months, plus SAR 200 for each extra month.

Official fees

• Single exit re-entry: SAR 200 for one trip of up to two months, then SAR 100 per additional month, within the iqama's validity.
• Multiple exit re-entry: SAR 500 for several trips over up to three months, then SAR 200 per additional month, within the iqama's validity.
• Final exit visa: free.

Extending a visa while you're already outside Saudi Arabia can cost more than these figures, so check the fee shown in Absher or Muqeem before you pay.

Does my iqama need to stay valid?

Plan for it to. The fee table ties the extra months to the period your iqama is valid, so if your iqama expires before you'd return, renew it before you apply.

Who pays

For employees, Article 40 of the Labor Law lists exit re-entry fees among the employer's costs. Visas for family members aren't in that article, so check your contract.

Before you apply

1. Check your iqama expiry date and your passport's validity for your destination.
2. Choose single or multiple based on how many trips you'll make in the period.
3. Ask HR who issues the visa and when it will be ready.
4. Keep a copy of the visa details before you fly.
