Extending Exit Re-Entry Visa for Family Dependents Outside KSA
Introduction
If your family dependents are currently outside Saudi Arabia, you have the option to extend their exit re-entry visa conveniently through Absher. Below is a detailed procedure outlining the necessary steps.
Requirements
- Valid Iqama with more than 90 days remaining.
- Exit re-entry visa not expiring more than 7 months from the current date.
- Payment of Exit Re-entry Visa extension fee.
