Guide to Checking Saudi Exit Re-Entry Visa Validity

Every expatriate resident traveling out of Saudi Arabia on annual leave or business travel must possess a valid Exit Re-Entry Visa (Khurooj wa Awda). Returning after your visa expires results in an automatic entry ban under the Saudi Jawazat 'Al Khurooj Wa Lam Ya'ud' (Exited and Did Not Return) regulation.

The Muqeem e-services portal and Absher platform allow expats, dependents, and human resources managers to check visa validity in real time using either passport number, visa number, or Iqama number.

Crucial Rule: If your Exit Re-Entry Visa specifies a duration in days (e.g. 60 or 90 days), the countdown starts from the exact day of departure through the Saudi airport passport control, not the visa issuance date.

Method 1: Check Visa Validity on Muqeem Portal (Without Login)

The Muqeem portal provides instant visa verification without requiring username or password:

Go to the official Muqeem Visa Validity Check Portal (muqeem.sa).
Select the first match parameter: 'Iqama Number' or 'Visa Number'.
Choose the cross-matching verification parameter from the dropdown: 'Passport Number', 'Name', 'Date of Birth', or 'Visa Expiration Date'.
Click 'Check'. The system will display your visa status (Active/Used), visa type (Single/Multiple), duration, and the exact last date to return to the Kingdom.
