If you're planning to travel home to visit family, the exit-re-entry visa is one procedure worth understanding precisely — not just its base cost, but an important condition that could double the fee without you realizing it.
📊 Single Exit-Re-entry Visa Fees
Under Royal Decree No. M/71 of 1444H, which amended Clause (6) of Royal Decree No. M/68 (1437H), the fees are set as follows for a single-trip visa:
200 SAR for a maximum of two months, and 100 SAR for each additional month.
📊 Multiple Exit-Re-entry Visa Fees
500 SAR for three months, and 200 SAR for each additional month.
⚠️ The Key Rule: The Additional Month Fee Doubles
Here is the detail that surprises many workers: if the resident is outside the Kingdom at the time of extending the visa's validity (within the limits of the residency's validity period), the fee for each additional month is doubled — that is, 200 SAR instead of 100 for the single-trip visa, and 400 SAR instead of 200 for the multiple-trip visa.
"If the resident is outside the Kingdom, the additional month fee shall be doubled, within the limits of the residency's validity period."
If you extend your visit to family after your original visa expires while you're still outside Saudi Arabia, each additional month requested remotely will cost you double compared to if you were inside the Kingdom. Plan your return date precisely to avoid this extra cost.
✅ What should you do before traveling?
- Determine the visa type suited to your plan (single for one trip, or multiple if you'll travel more than once).
- Calculate your trip duration precisely against the base visa validity (two months for single, three months for multiple).
- If you anticipate a possible delay abroad, factor in that any extension will cost double the usual fee.
