People who cancel the exit and re-entry visas cannot get a refund of the fees they have paid, The General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) confirmed.

The Jawazat said that it is also not possible to amend the exit and re-entry visas by the beneficiary, but can only be canceled through the employer’s Absher platform.

Exit and re-entry visas fees cannot be refunded in the event of its cancellation, even if the beneficiary has reissued the same visa, the Jawazat confirmed.
