The Saudi Passport Department has made a lot of changes in the online services, which has made it much easier to extend the period of Iqama and exit visa and perform other matters.
An online system has also been introduced to keep the information of foreign workers updated as per the Permits Act.
Under immigration laws, Iqama holders are required to enter a new passport after renewing their passport. The process of entering the new passport documents into the system is called 'copy information' in Arabic.
There has also been a lot of convenience in copying information from the online system. Now after renewing the passport information can be 'duplicated' online even while staying away.
A person on Juzaat's Twitter asked, 'The worker has gone on leave where the passport has been renewed after it has expired, can he enter the country on the new passport while the exit promise period is still remaining which was issued on the old passport number?'
The worker's sponsor should feed the worker's new passport information into the authorization system using the 'Tawaswal' service through their Abshar account so that the worker faces any problem at the airport in case of the worker's return. Don't have to'.
It should be noted that copying of passport information is very important. Passport is an international travel document which is very important to be valid.
Under immigration law, details of the worker's renewed passport, including the date of issue and expiry of the new passport and the place of renewal, are fed into the authorization system.
The passport details can be updated regularly through the 'Tawaswal' service on the Abshar platform, for which the worker's old and new passports as well as the Iqama card should be scanned and uploaded in a single file.
Keep in mind that the scan file should be the same which includes the above mentioned three items. Separate files cannot be uploaded. Some people make the mistake of uploading each file separately, due to which when they upload a new file, the first uploaded file gets deleted, which does not complete the process and the system rejects it.
Abshar refused to take action to stop the worker's exodus. 23 days left in the passport period, what to do?
Answering the question, Juzaat said that it is mandatory for the passport to be canceled if the minimum validity period of the passport is less than 60 days. If the period is less than 60 days Abshersystem automatically rejects the application.
It should be noted that after the final exit, the worker is given a 60-day grace period so that they can complete their affairs during this period if they wish.
