Unable to renew Iqama due to financial difficulties

Hello all!


Me and my family have been residing in Saudi Arabia for a long time. 3 years ago, my dad lost his job and experienced a great loss in his business. Due the financial situation, we couldn't renew our Iqama and it's been 3 years of expiration now. We have struggled a lot for the process but still couldn't due to financial difficulties. I would like to know what step will the government take in this case. Will we get exit?

Some people I know went via the deportation center and got the fines/fees waived.  Try your luck there - it won't be a normal exit but deportation.   So don't plan on coming back after that.

how long is the deportation for? I heard people can come back after 5 years. is this right?

Not always.  All I am saying is that don't plan on coming back.  If you are able to, then it is a bonus.
