Im finishing my contract with one club and I will get EXIT visa.

My question: How long I have to make pause to enter Saudi Arabia on new Iqama from another club/sponsor?

Somebody told me 6 months.

If you have a no objection letter (NOC) you can come back immediately.

If you do not have NOC then its a minumum of 6 months wait (usually 1 year)

not sure though but the NOC thingy was scraped 3 years back

Waiting for 6 months before your can re-enter the kingdom law stands no more valid.

You can come back on a new visa anytime, provided that your previous exit from the kingdom was legal and in good terms as in before leaving the kingdom, you had cleared all your bills/over dues/bank related issues and sold any vehicle which was on your name.

check the link below, very useful info for you and anyone who is leaving the kingdom on a final exit.

Still not clear this NOC thing. This law is only for Indian people or what?

another thing is that my current sponsor/job owes me money, and now I got better job offer and my contract is finished.
