Huroob Check – Verify Your Iqama Status | MyKSA

August 18, 2022 by Ahmad Muhammad

Huroob is a term widely used in Saudi Arabia for those workers who are continuously absent or run away from their employers and have been reported to the Ministry of Labor to change their iqama status from “At Work” to “Absent from Work.”

You can check iqama huroob status in two ways

  1. Through Mol KSA – Ministry of Labor and Social Development online portal
  2. Through Absher

Requirements

  1. you need one of the details if you are using the MOL-ministry of labor portal.
    • Iqama number
    • Border number
    • Passport number
  2. Date of Birth
  3. Absher credentials ( username, password) if you are using Absher portal.

  • Procedure
  • How To Check Huroob By Passport Number
  • How To Check Huroob In Absher
  • Check Huroob Status For Domestic Workers
  • 5 Ways To Remove The Huroob Status in Saudi Arabia.
  • A settlement with Kafeel/Company
  • Approach Labor Courts
  • Wait for the Amnesty announcement
  • Wait for ‘Red Status’ in Nitaqat for Kafeel, It’s time to Remove Huroob.
  • Go to Detention Center, Surrender for Final Exit.

Procedure

You can check iqama huroob status on the Ministry of Labor (MOL) website by using the iqama number.

  • Visit the Ministry of Labor’s MOL Portal. https://mol.gov.sa/Services/Inquiry/NonSaudiEmpInquiry.aspx
  • Enter Iqama number in the “رقم الإقامة” field
  • Select the nationality from the “الجنسية” drop-down menu.
  • Enter the 6-digit captcha code and press the green button, “بحث“

If the iqama huroob status shows as  ‘علی راس العمل (At Work)’  then it means that your employer hasn’t reported you as “absent” . But if the status shows as ‘متغيب عن العمل (Absent From Work)’ then it means the huroob status is active.

If you come to know within 15 days about it, you can cancel huroob status. But after that, it would be quite difficult to remove name.

How To Check Huroob By Passport Number

If your iqama has not issued then you can check huroob status by passport number on the Ministry of Labor’s portal.

These people can be those who are new to the kingdom and the iqama is not issued. In addition to that, those who entered Saudi Arabia on a visit, Hajj or umrah visa and didn’t leave the kingdom within the time. And, also the expatriates with expired iqama can use this method.

  • Visit the MOL KSA web portal by clicking here
  • Enter your Passport number in the “رقم الجواز” field
  • Enter Nationality from the drop-down menu of الجنسية
  • Now enter the Captcha code and click on “بحث”
  • The system fetches huroob details and shows them on the screen.

How To Check Huroob In Absher

Iqama holders can also check huroob in Absher by the following method.

  • Log in to Absher portal by entering your credential
  • Now, click on ‘query iqama expiry service’
  • Enter the iqama number and the captcha code and click on next.
    • On the screen, if the message ” The given id is invalid” appears then it means that huroob is in place against that iqama.

Check Huroob Status For Domestic Workers

We have observed that people who are domestic workers ( house drivers, maids, housekeepers, saiq khas), have more chances of getting huroob. Because it is in the hands of the kafeels or sponsors to report them as “Absent” without any reason.

However, after the implementation of the new kafala system, the role of kafeel is about to end. So the chances of getting huroob will decrease significantly.

In addition to that, now the domestic worker can transfer sponsorship to other employer through Qiwa portal.

Every expat can use the Mol portal except house drivers, saiq khas, maids, farmers, and other domestic workers.

Because these professions don’t fall under the Ministry of Labor’s nitaqat system. Therefore, their huroob status is not available on MOL platform. They will get this message.

To check huroob status, such workers have to visit Ministry of Labor offices know as maktab amal.

5 Ways To Remove The Huroob Status in Saudi Arabia.

There are a few ways to remove huroob status. We will discuss them one by one.

A settlement with Kafeel/Company

The best way to resolve the issue and remove huroob is to settle matters with your kafeel within the first 15 days. In the Kingdom, Kafeel has complete authority, and he can do whatever he wants. Most of the time, Kafeel asks for money to take the case back. But there are cases when kafeel took the money but didn’t remove huroob.

In that case, try to find a mediator. ( A person who is your kafeel’s friend or knows kafeel very well or someone else who could help you). Pay the money in front of the mediator. There are high chances that kafeel will remove Huroob Status quickly.

Approach Labor Courts

If you are sure that Kafeel/Company has misused his powers and you are innocent, then approach the labor court immediately. According to the labor laws, your kafeel will pay a fine if once proved that he reported a false huroob. You can transfer Iqama or go on final exit if you win the case. But before approaching the Court, It is better to contact your consulate because they can help you in many ways.

Wait for the Amnesty announcement

Almost once a year, Govt announce an amnesty scheme and free the prisoners. But it is not sure if you can transfer Iqama to another kafeel. In past years we have seen that Govt announced amnesty. However, People with Huroob status had no choice, and they left the kingdom without paying any fine or detention. Anyhow sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Wait for ‘Red Status’ in Nitaqat for Kafeel, It’s time to Remove Huroob.

If your kafeel/Company is in red, you can transfer Iqama. Huroob will become null and void automatically. Go to the new Kafeel and ask to forward your case to transfer Iqama. Upon successful completion of the process, Huroob will remove automatically.

Go to Detention Center, Surrender for Final Exit.

Sometimes Kafeels reports that you own their money, or you stole things. In that case, it is a great trouble for you. Now you have no choice but to settle the matters with Kafeel in any Case. But if your kafeel reported huroob only, and he is not resolving the issues also, then better go to any detention center and report there.

The jawazat will arrange your final exit in the next few days. Also, you can’t come back for the next five years. Besides, you can’t perform hajj or umrah during the period.

In the worst scenario if you have to choose the last option. then as a piece of information, all the major cities have these centers that you can find easily.

In addition to that, to find your own location, Where Am I may help you. The best solution is always a negotiation with your kafeel. As it will help you to solve the issues and may prevent the surrender
