Deportees can come to the country for Hajj or Umrah?

 In Saudi Arabia, changes have been made to immigration laws since last year, the most important of which is regarding deportation, which is called "Tarheel" in Arabic.

In the past, those leaving Tarheel were banned from entering the country for a certain period. Changes have been made in this regard after the implementation of the new law.

A person inquired from Jazaat, 'After being deported in Harob's case 6 years ago, can others come on a visa now?'

In response to the question, Juzaat said that those who are deported in Harob case or for any other reason are blacklisted in the country for life. Such persons cannot come to the country on any other work visa in Saudi Arabia, they can only come to the country to perform Umrah or Hajj.

It should be noted that a new immigration law has been issued in the country since last year, according to which the people who are deported from the country through the immigration department are permanently blacklisted in the country.

Such persons cannot come to Saudi Arabia on any work visa for life, they can only come to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah or Hajj.

Before the immigration law that came into effect last year, people passing through the immigration department were blacklisted for a limited period.

In the past, about the people who were deported from a country, it was pointed out by the investigation officer of the case that the mentioned people are banned from entering the country for a certain period.


Most of the times the ban period was 3 to 10 years. Deported foreigners could re-enter the country on another visa after completing the above-mentioned period.

After the implementation of the new law, people who were deported from the country in the past can no longer enter the country on any work visa for life.

Some people believe that because the new immigration law was enacted last year, they do not fall into this category. This impression or idea is wrong because the deportees, whether they left this year or ten years ago, are subject to the new law and they cannot come back to the country on any new work visa for life.
