Visa Status On MOFA ( Ministry Of Foreign Affairs)
If you have applied for a visit visa or Istiqdam ( permanent family visa), then you can check visa status using the MOFA portal. You can also search for umrah and haj visa status. We have a dedicated post on applying for a family visit visa in Saudi Arabia. You can find comprehensive details on the article.
However, it does not show exit re-entry visa status for the residents (expats). The reason is that the exit re-entry visa service is under MOI ( Ministry of Interior). This is also the reason that the Absher portal provides the service instead of the MOFA Portal.
Cancel Exit Re-Entry Visa
Absher portal gives the facility to cancel exit re-entry visas for dependents. However, if you want the cancellation for yourself, then ask your sponsor ( kafeel, company) to cancel the visa. By using the muqeem service, you kafeel will cancel the visa quite easily.
However, as per the government rules and regulations, you can ask for cancellation, but can’t get a refund for the paid fee.
Exit Re-entry Visa Fee
The fees depend upon the duration of the visa. For a 2-month duration visa, the fee is 200 Saudi Riyals.
For a 3 months duration, the cost is 300 riyals. If you are planning a vacation of 4 months, then the charges will be 400 riyals. The fee for 5 and 6 months exit re-entry visa is 500 and 600 riyals, respectively.
The maximum duration of the exit re-entry visa is 6 months. Therefore you have to return to KSA within 180 days in any case.
Print The Exit Re-Entry Visa
Although now, you don’t need a print of the visa because the authorities check visa status online nowadays. However, if you want a hardcopy, then take a screenshot of the eserve page. For dependents, you can print it in Absher. There is an option to save or print it.
For a working ex-pat, the sponsor will provide a copy of the visa. Just attach it with the passport. You may need it at the airport in your native country to verify the details. The authorities may also check it at the time of departure from your country.
