1. Rules for getting a new visa to go to Saudi Arabia.
To get a new visa to work in Saudi Arabia, first, you need to completely cancel your previous visa. For this, you must have the permission of your employer or sponsor. The previous visa can be cancelled in 2 ways. Namely 1. The previous or old visa can be cancelled through a final exit visa. 2. If you do not return to Saudi Arabia on vacation on time, the previous visa is cancelled.

It is mandatory to get a final exit visa or khuruj nehayi after severing relations with your previous employer. If you come back to the country with a final exit, you can go back to Saudi Arabia in a short time with a new visa.
The process of re-entry visa or exit visa or going on vacation to Saudi Arabia with a new visa.
If you come back to the country on vacation from Saudi Arabia and have decided not to return to your current company, then the rules are different. If you want to go to a new company in Saudi Arabia, you will have to go through a new visa. In this case, your vacation period must end, and your Iqama must end. It takes at least 6 months to complete these processes. That is, if an expatriate worker staying in Saudi Arabia wants to go to his home country on vacation and return to another company, he can leave after at least 6 months.

To get a final exit visa, if there is any fine or fee left in the employee’s Iqama, it must be paid. You have to settle the financial case, traffic case, and SIM company case and apply for a final exit visa. Paying the fine will help complete the final exit visa process.
