The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, issued a royal decree approving an amendment that doubled the fees for renewing exit and re-entry visas for residents outside the Kingdom.

Under the new amendment, the exit and return visa fee is SAR 200 for a single trip for a maximum duration of two months, and SAR 100 for each additional month if the resident is inside the Kingdom. Fees for the extra month will be doubled if the applicant is not within Saudi Arabia.

The fee for multi-entry trips is SAR 500 for three months, and SAR 200 for each additional month if the resident is inside Saudi Arabia. Fees for the additional month will be doubled in case the applicant is outside the Kingdom.

King Salman also issued another royal decree ratified an amendment to the residency law, covering the renewal of residency permits for companions of foreign workers and domestic workers. Accordingly, the fee for residency renewal when outside the Kingdom will be double what is collected within the Kingdom through the Ministry of Interior’s electronic portal.
