How to check Final Exit Visa and its Status
Saudi Arabia has opened its border from January 3rd, 2021. Any Expat who wants to go can book his/her ticket. Suppose an “EXPAT” decided to leave the KSA permanently on the current IQAMA. In that case, he will exit the country with the final visit visa.
An “EXPAT” should show good behavior with his sponsors because he is a temporary residence of KSA. It doesn’t make a difference in how many years or decades of life an “EXPAT” has spent in KSA. A person can only leave the KSA on a final exit if his sponsor allows him, so make sure to remain good with the sponsor.
The final exit visa means that you are finally leaving the country permanently on your current IQAMA.
If you want to come back to Saudia, you have to go to a new IQAMA and re-entry visa.
Things to remember before going on Final Exit Visa:
An “EXPAT” should check the following things, which are written below, before leaving the country permanently.
If he forgot to check anything mentioned below, he might be stopped by authorities at the airport.
- Finalize your bank accounts.
- Withdraw all the Earnings
- If you have dependents in Saudia, send them to their homeland.
- Tell your House Owner about your exit Visa
- Sell all the Vehicles and Cargo all the essential items
- Pay all the fines
- Clear all the bills
- Deactivate all the sims and Landline numbers
- Request permission from your Sponsor
Make sure you follow all these. They may not be compulsory but it is a good habit to follow these.
