FAQ | What does Saudi Labor Law say about working hours during the month of Ramadan?

22/03/2022

RIYADH — The General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) reiterated that it is not allowed to convert visit visas into residency permits (iqama).

The Jawazat sources clarified this while speaking to Okaz/Saudi Gazette, amid social media reports about the possibility of converting visit visa into a permanent residency with payment of fee.

The Jawazat refuted claims of some social networking site accounts that it is possible to convert a visit visa into a residency permit for a fee, saying that such claims are untrue and baseless.

“The instructions issued by the competent authorities in Saudi Arabia do not allow converting a visit visa into an iqama. If a new decision or instructions are issued regarding visit visas, it will be announced immediately through the official channels,” the sources said.

The Jawazat sources also stated that those who arrive in the Kingdom on a visit visa are also not allowed to work, and that the violators of the regulations will face punitive measures.

Meanwhile, Saif Al-Hakami, a legal consultant, warned against the practices of fraudsters on social media platforms, with the aim of cheating and making money illegally through false allegations that are contradictory to the rules and regulations prevailing in the country.

The Council of Ministers approved in April last year the Law for Combating Financial Fraud and Deceit. According to the law, the convicted fraudsters shall be subject to imprisonment for a period not exceeding seven years or fine not exceeding SR5 million or of both.

Al-Hakami stated that there are provisions in the law to punish anyone who incites another to commit any of the crimes stipulated in the law, agrees with him, or helps him.

If the crime occurred based on this incitement, agreement or assistance, the same maximum penalties will be imposed on them too. In the event of the original crime did not occur, the instigator would get half of the maximum punishment, he added.

COLLECTED POST

Hello
I'd like to share my experience in extending family visit visa. I applied for my wife's visa extension on the 10th, and received the 2 weeks pledge message on absher on the 12th. I went to jawazat the same day and found out that they are no longer extending visit visas for more than 270 days. The officer in jawazat also told me that since my wife's visa is expiring I need to extend it for 2 weeks and then send her back before the expiration otherwise I'll have to face fines or permanent ban. The officer told me to get the 2 weeks extension I need to go to shops near jawazat and get a written pledge to leave the country within 2 weeks with my thumbprint and upload it to absher.

I went to the shop, explained to him my situation and he created a pdf of the pledge and asked me to put my thumbprint and uploaded it to tawasul along with a screenshot of the visa expiry date from absher and my iqama. For this he charged me SR100.
My wife's visa was extended the next morning for 2 weeks.

I have created a word document of the pledge to share if anyone's is interested to use instead of paying SR100. You can download the document here: https://app.box.com/s/q8o8mezxdayc95w19mryni0x95oxpf9w

Please use the the attached images as a guide to edit the word document and create a single pdf with the pledge, visa expiry screenshot (from absher) and iqama.
