Overstaying Saudi Arabia Penalty

Overstaying in Saudi Arabia Penalty

Fatima Al Khabi

Written By Arabiers Digital & Reviewed by Fatima Al Khabi

September 16, 2023 | 13 min read

It is crucial to be aware of the terms and conditions of your Saudi visa and adhere to them. Overstaying a visa in Saudi Arabia can have serious consequences, and the penalties can be severe in certain countries. This advisory guide provides essential information on the penalty of overstaying in Saudi Arabia for individuals who overstayed their Saudi visas in 2023.

What Is The Penalty For Overstaying A Visa In Saudi Arabia?

Any visitor who is caught overstaying a visa in Saudi Arabia will be charged a fine of 100 SAR (98 AED) per day of overstay. Saudi Arabia started issuing visit visas only after opening for tourists in September 2019. Prior to that, only expatriates and special people were allowed entry to the Kingdom.

How Is The Penalty For Overstaying A Visit Visa In Saudi Arabia Calculated?

Overstaying Saudi Arabia Penalty

Overstaying fines can be calculated in two ways:

  • Your duration of stay has expired, and you still need to leave the country or extend your visa. For example, your visa allows you to stay for 90 days in Saudi Arabia. If you have stayed in the country on the 91st day, you will be considered overstaying. If you leave the country on the 95th day, you will have to pay a fine of 500 SAR, since the overstay fine in Saudi Arabia is 100 SAR per day, before exiting the country.
  • Your duration of stay isn't over, but your visa validity period has expired. If you hold a Saudi eVisa, it has a validity period of one year and permits a stay of 90 days. Suppose you are in Saudi Arabia when your eVisa's one-year visa validity is over. In that case, you will be penalized for overstaying visa in Saudi Arabia even if you still need to complete the allowed 90-day stay period.

Where To Pay The Penalty For Overstaying Visit Visa In Saudi Arabia?

The overstaying fines will be calculated during the exit at the airport's Immigration/Jawazat counter. You can settle your fine for overstaying visa in Saudi Arabia at the Immigration counter before boarding the flight.

How To Avoid Overstay Fine In Saudi Arabia?

If you want to avoid paying any penalty for overstaying your visa in Saudi Arabia, you have the following options:

It is always wise to confirm your visa expiry date and the last date of your permitted stay in Saudi Arabia from your visa consultant. Our consultants will answer all your queries without any hesitation. The chances of overstaying are very low if you know the exact date you should leave Saudi Arabia.

This will give you a buffer period in case of unexpected flight delays or cancellations that can prolong your stay in Saudi Arabia. The worst option is to travel on the day your visa expires, as any sudden delays can result in you having to pay for an overstaying visa in Saudi Arabia.

If you want to stay longer, but your visa is over, your safest option is to extend your visa by contacting Arabiers or a reputable travel firm.

You can exit Saudi Arabia and return to the UAE before your visa expires, apply for a new visa and travel back to Saudi Arabia.

You can easily ask for these details from your Arabiers visa consultant so that you are more mindful of your travel.

Is Overstaying Visa In Saudi Arabia A Major Offense?

There is no such news regarding overstaying your Saudi Visit Visa as a major offense. However, in previous years, overstaying a Saudi residence visa resulted in hefty fines and imprisonment and, in rare cases, being blacklisted from re-entering the country. In the UK, if someone overstays their visa, they can be charged with a criminal offense under section 24 of the Immigration Act 1971. On the other hand, in the UAE, no legal provision considers it a crime to overstay a visitor's visa or a residence visa that has expired. It is always better to be safe than sorry and respect the laws of the country we are visiting. The best and safest practice is to avoid overstaying, which will save us money and from unnecessary trouble.

Will Overstaying Affect My Re-Entry?

Overstaying Saudi Arabia Penalty

This is entirely dependent on the decisions made by the Saudi Immigration team that is reviewing your visa.

1. What happens if you overstay your visa in Saudi Arabia?

The penalty for overstaying visa in Saudi Arabia is 100 SAR (98 AED) per day of overstaying. This means that if you overstay 5 days from your visa expiry day you will have to pay 500 SAR.

2. What happens if my visa expires in Saudi?

If your visa expires in Saudi, you will face an overstay fine in Saudi Arabia unless you have already applied for a visa extension. If you haven't applied for an extension, you will have to pay the fine at exit time.

Saudi Arabia sets deadline for Umrah pilgrims to depart kingdom

Umrah visa duration will not be extended beyond 90-day period and cannot be converted

Saudi Arabia: Umrah pilgrims in Ramadan topped 30 million

Dubai: The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia has announced that Dhul Qadah 29, 1445 (June 6), will be the final day for Umrah pilgrims to leave the Kingdom, as part of the preparations for the upcoming Hajj season.

The ministry stated that the Umrah visa for foreign pilgrims has a validity of 90 days from the date of entry into Saudi Arabia.

The clarification came in response to numerous inquiries received through the ministry’s “Beneficiary Care” account on the X social media platform.

The announcement follows earlier reports that stated Dhul Qadah 15, 1445, as the last date for Umrah visa holders to enter Saudi Arabia this year. Additionally, it was clarified that the visa’s validity extends for three months from the date of issuance, not from the date of entry.

The ministry further emphasised that the Umrah visa duration will not be extended beyond the 90-day period and cannot be converted into another type of visa.

Applications for Umrah visas can be made through the approved electronic platforms for Umrah services, accessible at https://nusuk.sa/ar/partners.

This measure is intended to ensure the orderly and efficient flow of pilgrims to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina for the annual Hajj pilgrimage, drawing visitors from around the globe.

Saudi Arabia issued new Umrah visa regulations before Hajj 2024

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has made important changes to Umrah visas for the Hajj 2024 season. The visa validity period now starts from Dhul Qadah 15 instead of Dhul Qadah 29, which helps make pilgrimages smoother. Umrah pilgrims must leave before Dhul Qadah 15, a change that’s two weeks earlier than before, making the pilgrimage process easier for those visiting Makkah and Madinah.

A significant change is that Umrah visas are valid for three months from the date they’re issued, not from when people enter Saudi Arabia. This change is part of the Ministry’s collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to improve the overall pilgrimage experience.

These updates are vital as Saudi Arabia gets ready to welcome pilgrims for the Hajj 2024 pilgrimage, showing the country’s dedication to ensuring a smooth and organized journey for everyone involved. Keep an eye out for more updates as the Hajj 2024 season gets closer.
