In response to a question, Jawazat said that information about the departure promise can be obtained through the 'resident' portal while living abroad.
To get information about the exit promise on the portal, open the link and feed the required information in the required fields, including visa number or residence number, name and other required information.
Details about the exit visa can be obtained by feeding information into the system. In this regard, print of exit visa can also be obtained.
