Are you thinking of going out of Saudi Arabia on a short trip? As a resident holding a good Iqama, you will need to obtain an Electronic Exit Re-Entry Visa (Single) to leave and come back home without problems. Such a form of visa enables you to leave the Kingdom once and arrive back within the prescribed time limit, mostly not more than 60 days. Be it a dependent, a domestic worker, or one sponsored by the company, I have listed the best options to use: through Absher, Muqeem, or even at the Jawazat office (special cases).
In case you are interested in a quick, clear, and comprehensive solution to the issue, check or printing of your single exit re-entry visa, you are in the right place. Here goes!
What is a Single Exit Re-Entry Visa?
The Single Exit Re-Entry Visa permits you (being an Iqama holder) to visit the outside and come back to Saudi Arabia once during a stipulated period. The visa has a limited period of up to a stay of 60 days per trip, and dependents, domestic workers, and employees are the most common users.

Final Thoughts
Speaking from experience, I’ve used the Absher method to apply for the visa for my client. It was fast, effective, and saved much of the time. As a sponsor, dependent, or employee, the process will be smooth under the above steps.
I would always advise that such kind of services be done through official means, such as Absher or Muqeem mechanisms. Use as little of an agent or third-party services as possible. The rest is to apply for your Single Exit Re-Entry Visa. Now that you have all the details, apply without a hassle.
