According to the law of the Saudi Passport and Immigration Department, sponsors of expatriates working in the Kingdom are responsible for keeping the workers' documents complete, including the workers' residence, their annual medical insurance, and the issuance of exit visas or final exit visas. The execution of other matters is included.
A person discovered the reasons on Twitter, "I am staying at the residence of Sayek Khas, the picture in the residence is ten years old, how can I change it?"
Answering the question, Juzaat said that 'to get the photo changed in the iqama, get an appointment from any nearby office of Juzaat'.
It should be noted that while getting an appointment from any nearest Jazaat office to change the photo in Iqamah, the reason must be given explaining that the photo is old enough that the facial recognition has changed.
A new card is printed after the photo exchange is done in Iqama. Later it is also uploaded in the Iqama Abshar system along with the new image.
A person has inquired from Jazaat that it is necessary to go on vacation, there are 45 days left in the expiry of the passport, what is the minimum period for the exit visa? The sponsor says that the duration of the passport is short, so the exit does not seem promising.
In this regard, Juzaat said that the validity of the foreign worker's passport must be at least 90 days for the purpose of exit.
"In case the validity of the passport is less than 90 days, the automated system of justifications rejects the application due to which the exit cannot be guaranteed".
It should be noted that if it is necessary to go on an emergency basis and there is an apprehension of delay in the renewal of the passport, in this case, the temporary extension of the passport period can be obtained by contacting the embassy or consulate.
After the temporary extension of the passport period, the new expiry should be fed in the system of permits, after which it will be possible to arrange the exit.
There is no need to go to the passport office to feed the new expiry of the passport, but the extension of the passport period can be fed through the sponsor's Abrasia resident account.
The process of entering the passport into the system is called 'copy information' in Arabic. This service used to be obtained by going to the Jazaat office in the past, but now it is possible to transfer the information through digital means.
There is a 'Tawaswal' service on the portal of Abashriya-based platform Permit Service where duplicate passport information can be submitted.
