Hi

Does anyone have an idea regarding how long it would take for an exit reentry visa to be provided and for Iqama renewal.

@Fathima2023 exit reentry can be done done within seconds through sponsor (kafeel) absher account.  It doesn't take time for approval as it's being issued electronically and you get print out of exit reentry paper at the same time for the iqama renwel it's too same procedure .you just need to pay labour office (maktab amal) fee whicb can be vary according to size of company and jawazat (passport office) fee 650 and your sponsor will do it online as well.

Also, can I travel if my Iqama expires on July 12th? I'll be returning before that.

Hi there




Issuing Visa as Exit rentery or fainal Exit can be same the time  but that it depends of the long of Igqmah validation and the vacation period or Financial, governmental and security situation.


If all that are fine the visa can be issuue immediately

I have renewed Iqama and had exit re-entry issued on the same day.  In fact, I always do it this way because I time my Iqama expiry and ERE - I always get a 1 year ERE issued at the same time the Iqama is renewed.


Depends on how efficient your HR is.

Yeah, but can I travel if my Iqama is expiring on 1st week of July. Exit reentry already issued

Be back before iqama expires. Ideally with 3-4 days to spare.
