Hello,

To go back to your home country, firstly do we need to ask our employer first regarding exit visa or re entry exit visa or we can directly login to the MOI/Absher Website and start the process ? I am an expat here who came to KSA on company visa in January 2020, just around 5 months ago. I am not sure if my employer will let me go back as my probation has been cleared and I have a contract stating if I resign without a valid reason I will have to pay salaries remaining for the contract period which is 12 months and I have 8 remaining salaries.

I want to go home due to the pandemic and want to stay close with my family in these tough times. I am also going through depression and medical problems such as shivering of my body and lack of appetite plus sleeplessness. Everytime I focus on work I can not do it because my life has been disturbed.

Can you suggest any available options for me which will be legal and will not cause trouble for me ?

Would be grateful to you.

Login to your MOI/Absher account and then under new services in AWDAH tab click "New Travel Request". This service allow all legal and illegal foreign expat workers and resident visa holders inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to submit an application to return to their countries electronically via MOI/Absher platform. Once your request is approved, MOI will contact you and the process of travel procedures will be arranged back to your home country.

For this do I first need an exit or re entry exit visa from my employer or I can start the process without taking the visa from employer as I am on a 2 year contract and I am not laid off nor my salary has been deducted I just want to live with family in these difficult times at least one should die near them.
