Official regulations at the Saudi General Directorate of Passports (GDP) have allowed some residents to remain in the Kingdom despite the expiry of their residency permits (Iqama), and despite the end of the relief offered by the "Nation without a Violator" campaign.
The stay of these residents should not exceed 60 days from the date of the issuance of the Final Exit Visa, even if the residency permit itself has expired.
The GDP clarified this information on its official Twitter account. An expat asked the question: "I have a final exit visa and my Iqama has expired. Is there a problem with this?" The GDP replied "There is no problem, provided the departure is within 6o days of the date of the issuing of the visa. Thank you
