Huroob status will stop everything. But 3 days is not a big deal. You may request your previous employer to hold actions for a few days.

Dont worry! Your contract is just the one which ended and not the iqama.. Just be sure about the expiry date of iqama and remind them before it expires.. That is if they really dont want you to go even if your contract is finished. Ganto kase tlga dito sa saudi kpag panget na company npuntahan mo. After letting them know your iqama expiration, remind them to process your exit visa.. And then after they process that, you can still stay for maximum of 2months..again, they can let you go until you're done with 2months unless you insist to go.. Goodluck!

Talk to your employer or hr regarding that since you have this knowledge that you can just stay for maximum of 2months after they process your exit visa.. Just be sure that they do not renew your iqama or else you can stay here more than the said date.. Goodluck.

they are cheating....

sue them in labor law....

if you finish your contract properly then you deserve to have exit visa so that you can apply to other company.

First off, give them your desire to leave officially citing end of contract and that you do not wish to stay in country. After this if they are still refusing final exit, approach labor office / jawazat and they will get you final exit from the sponsor.

hi yhmc., for your situation., you can go exit even your iqama is expired already as long as your employer processed already and issued exit visa already before your iqama expire.,

if your employer processed already the exit visa before the iqama expire.,of course you can go exit.,but, if your iqama is expired, they can't process that.,they will renew first before they can give you your final exit.,beofre buying the ticket, ask first the employer if your exit visa was done already and ask a copy for proof..that's all.

hi. my iqama is already expired since May 30, 2014. my company just get my iqama on May 29, 2014, they said that they will process exit visa but until now I didn't receive my passport and a copy of my exit visa. Now I'm afraid that they wouldn't process an exit visa for me but an exit re-entry visa instead. Yesterday, my friend went home ahead of me, we are on the same company but they give them exit re-entry instead of final exit. is it possible that I can still get an exit visa? and what will I do if they gave me exit re-entry even though I didn't agree with it? thank you for the reply!

My iqama is going to be expired on 6th ramzan 1435 hijri.
And now my sponser is refusing to give the final exit and my contract period is also exipred instead he is asking for the reneval for the new contract which I do not want.

Or
Will there be a problem if I get the exit on the last day and I donot get the airlne ticket to go on the same day.

Please give me some advice which will be help ful for me.
Thank you

They must request your final exit visa before sept 14. (Iqama expiry date) and leave the kingdom within 60 days after the issuance date of your final exit visa. There are penalties if they were unable to secure your final exit before expiry of your iqama. If after they secure your final exit visa, you have 60 days to leave the kingdom. You must leave before this will expire for will be very very doomed if this final exit visa expired. To wait until december ...is not your option.

They will lose two equivalent visa for expat if they issue 1 exit-re entry visa in one expat not returning. So they will never do it. They cannot hire anymore. So its not practical for employer to do that since to obtain a working visa now is difficult for them.

Might be a problem , have you talked with previous employer ?
Did they cancel your visa properly ? And not blacklist you ?
If they did deal properly with your exit , you shall have no problem with new visa

Hi, Jhun. If your sponsor has a final exit visa for you that was received before the date of your iqama expiring, I think you will be okay to leave within 60 days of the iqama expiring. My hope is that he has it and will give it to you soon. If the visa was never applied for/received in the first place, I think you have a problem with being an overstayer and your sponsor needing to pay a fine. I wish you the very best with your situation.

I haven't learned of many good bosses in this country, and it seems yours is creating problems. I don't think there is any advice I can give. It seems everything has to be settled between you and your sponsor. Good luck.

If your iqama has already expired, I believe your sponsor has to pay a fine and process some paperwork to get you a final exit visa.
