A person on Twitter of Juzaat inquired, "I am living with my family, my daughter has to go to the country for education." Can an exodus be promised for one year?

Answering the question, Juzaat said that 'to get the promise of emigration for a period of one year or more, it is mandatory that the period of Iqama should be the same'.

An exit visa is issued after determining the period of Iqama. If there are 8 months in the expiry of Iqama, then in this case, the promise of exit for one year cannot be made.

It should be noted that the facility has been provided by the Saudi Passport and Immigration Department for the exit visa of foreign workers and their families residing with them.

Since last year, the Saudi Department of Permits has provided the facility to the expatriates that they can issue exit visas for their families on a monthly basis.

Even while living outside the country, it is possible to increase the period of their exit promise, while there was no such facility in the past.

A person inquired about the passport department's Twitter visit visa, 'What is the way to extend the period of single entry visit visa?'

In this regard, Jazaat said that 'before extending the period of family visit visa, it is mandatory to obtain a valid medical insurance policy, after which the host of the visit visa has been issued to extend the visa from his Abshar account. After submitting the fee, complete the prescribed procedure for extension of the visa period.

It should be noted that before extending the period of the visit visa, it is necessary to ensure that the company from which the medical insurance is obtained for the visit visa is registered with the Saudi Insurance Council, because the medical insurance policy is directly in the authorization system. After uploading the visa extension process can be completed.

Obtaining medical insurance from an unapproved or unregistered company makes it difficult to extend the visa, which is not accepted by the automated validation system and the visa cannot be extended.
