HI! Everyone. I would like to ask if there's a way I can retrieve my old IQAMA number in Saudi Arabia using my passport number? I left Saudi Arabia with re-entry working visa, and did not return there 9 years ago. Presently, I applied a work to Saudi Arabia but I need to check if my 9-year-old re-entry visa
has been cancelled, I had hard times looking for remedies in checking it because all I have here is only
my old passport. Please I need your help here. Thank you very much.

The ban is only for 3 years if you don't return on exit reentry visa.

The new visa will not get endorsed in saudi embassy if there is any issue with you.

I believe if you have exit reentry copy it should mention iqama number on it.
