The General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) has clarified that expatriates who left Saudi Arabia on exit and re-entry visa and did not come back before the expiry of the visa, are not allowed to re-enter the Kingdom for a period of three years.
However, this is not applicable to those who come back to the previous employer with a new work visa.
The Jawazat’s clarification came in response to queries from many foreigners who want to come back to the Kingdom after leaving the country years ago on exit and reentry visa and did not return before the expiry of the visa.
