Saudi Arabia Confirms Exit and Re-Entry Visa Fees Are Non-Refundable: Key Details for Expats

18 June 2025 · Europe Permit

  • Saudi Arabia’s Jawazat has confirmed that exit and re-entry visa fees are non-refundable, even if the visa is canceled.

  • There are two types of exit and re-entry visas: single and multiple.

  • Single visas cost SAR 200 for up to 2 months, with an additional SAR 100 per extra month.

  • Multiple visas cost SAR 500 for up to 3 months, with an additional SAR 200 per extra month.

  • Visa validity cannot exceed the resident’s Iqama (residency permit) duration.

  • For residents already outside Saudi Arabia, the cost of extending these visas doubles.

  • Residents can manage visa-related tasks through the Absher digital platform.

  • To cancel a visa, log in to Absher, go to “Services for Sponsors,” select the individual, and confirm cancellation.

  • Cancelling the visa does not mean a refund; the fee will still be forfeited.

  • It’s essential for expats to plan their travels wisely to avoid unnecessary costs.
