Final Exit Visa Process for Dependents
Introduction
Issuing a final exit visa for dependents outside Saudi Arabia involves specific procedures. Here’s how to navigate the process:
Need for Final Exit for Dependents
- Cancelling the Iqama of dependents outside Saudi Arabia is essential to avoid paying dependent fees and ensure the renewal of the sponsor’s Iqama.
- If the head of the family is also leaving Saudi Arabia in the same year, dependents’ final exit visas will automatically be issued alongside the sponsor’s visa.
- Notably, the 3-year ban for not returning on an exit re-entry visa does not apply to dependents.
Step 1: Gather Requirements in PDF
- Prepare a PDF file for each dependent with the following documents:
- Expired Exit Reentry Visa
- Dependent’s Iqama
- Dependent’s passport
- Iqama copy of the head of the family
- Passport copy of the head of the family
