After leaving the Kingdom on final exit visas, the resident's iqama is handed over to the Jawazat or destroyed by the General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) in Saudi Arabia.
The following was Jawazat's response to a user's inquiry, in which the user asked: Does the iqama have to be handed over in case of a worker's final exit, when his iqama is still valid, but has lost its validity?
According to Jawazat, peace be upon you. The employer must handle the resident's identity, which is handed over to the Passports Department or destroyed after the resident leaves. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
At the 7th Absher forum, the Saudi Jawazat launched 4 new services for citizens and resident expatriates.
* Foster families can get passport services.
* Transfer of his services to the new employer requires resident approval.
* Iqama are issued and renewed quarterly, except for domestic workers.
* Passport issuance and renewal service for those under 15 years old.
