Final Exit Visa Requirements
According to the report, a final exit visa alone does not qualify an expatriate worker to leave the country for good.
An immigration official was quoted saying as follows:
“Our system should show that his residency permit (iqama), which is an official government document, is returned to the regional passport department to enable authorities to send the person from the airport,” he said.
In addition to this report, an expatriate that wishes to have an exit visa is recommended to have the following clearance for future reference:
- Police clearance – It is better to have a police clearance prior your departure to Saudi Arabia since it is very hard to get while you are already out of the Kingdom.
- Settle all your debts in bank and Credit Cards – You may not know that all bank in the world are interconnected, your nonpaying might put you in risk if you want to travel in any other country. It may also be a hindrance in making load in your home country because you have a bad credit record.
- Before applying for Exit Visa, better check if you have any traffic violation because you will not be given an exit visa not unless you pay your violation.
- Be sure to enroll in MOI website for you to know, what pending issues that you may have with the government. No problem it is written in English.
- If possible obtain an NOC, No objection certificate for your company attested by Chamber of Commerce.
- If possible get an Employment Certificate, attested by Chamber of Commerce.
Above items will help you especially if you want to migrate in some other countries like Canada or Australia.

Hi sir. How to get exit visa for my 3 months old baby? Jawazat here in al ahsa told me that’s there’s no worry . My baby and my husband can exit alatul in the airport without exit visa and iqama for my baby. Only I will present his birth certificate in the immigration so that they can exit. My husband is just for visit visa. Pls help me what to do.
Do we need to close also our Mobile Phone line?
It will be better if it is postpaid because they will continue to charge you.
I applied for my daughter’s final exit online and approved. Do I need to get a copy of Exit to bring with my daughter with her to show to the immigration before upon departure?
I believe you can just print it from your Absher
can i get an exit without returning the car lease i had? i checked it in moi system, there is no car under my name, and no authorize car for me? thanks!
how true that if you have a car lease on your name that you can not go for final exit in the ksa?
We had the same experience here with my offciemate. You cannot be given an exit visa if you have a car under your name
Hi Sir,
I have these inquiries.
1. I am nearing my exit on Nov 3, Do I really need a police clearance even thou I will not return working here anymore?
2. My employer applies online for exit visa and told me to hold on to my iqama and have it surrender at the airport immigration when I go back home. Can I really surrender my iqama in the airport o should I go to a Passport Dept in Riyadh?
3. I am on payroll on a NCB bank which my company gives, should I go to the bank and let them close my account. I don’t have Credit Card account either. So Its ok for me not to go there?
1.) Police Clearance is not a requirement of Saudi Arabia, but it is for you. If by time you will have a chance to go to Australia, Canada, USA or any other Country that is the time that you will be needing to have a Saudi Police Clearance in order to proove your good staning in Saudi Arabia.
2.) Yes , Iqama will be surrendered in the Airport
3.) You may or may not close the bank account, but If I were you just proceed to the bank and close it.
Hope this response help you.
Hi Sir Dexter,
Thank you for the fast reply.
Can you tell me what agency inside the Airport should I go to surrender my Iqama? Or the is a help desk there that can be of assistance?
I read so much article in the internet regarding Iqama surrendering, some say in Passport Department in Riyadh and they disallow Iqama surrendered in the airport.
Although my employer is doing the Exit Visa Online and I will request for a copy when the process will be finish by then Oct 31 I will have my passport with me.
Do I need anything else aside from my Passport, Exit Visa at Iqama?
Thank you again.
What I know is that it will be surrender in the immigration area. (This is the last information that I know), I don’t know if there is any change. Nowadays exit visa are all being doe online, and you should receive a text message that you got your visa if you are enrolled in Absher
its really needed to re-run or to make data flow again before they give a exit visa?
They holding me .. I finidh my contract last january 2016 then I sign excit paper ive been extension one month till now im still here can u help me wht to do
Sorry I cannot do anything about that sir
Travel at least one week before your final exit visa expire, Make sure you ready with your booked ticket. Do not keep more money with you, As you are going on final exit, you can send money with your friend iqama. You can check your final exit validity or expiry date also to make sure
