Muqeem Visa Validity Check From Abroad 2026 (vv.muqeem.sa)

You can check your exit re-entry visa from India or any other country on Muqeem’s Visa Validity Portal, vv.muqeem.sa. Register once, log in, choose “Exit and Re-entry” as the visa type, enter your Iqama number and press Verify. The portal shows the visa details and its status. You do not need to be in Saudi Arabia, but you do need one SMS code on the mobile number in your Absher account the first time you register.

Last checked: November 2026.

Why check from abroad?

Your exit re-entry visa has its own end date. It is not the same as your Iqama expiry. If you are outside Saudi Arabia when the visa runs out, you cannot come back on it. Since January 2025, Jawazat allows exit re-entry visas of residents outside the Kingdom to be extended through Absher and Muqeem after the fees are paid. Checking early gives your sponsor time to do this while the visa is still valid. Our guide on what happens when an exit re-entry visa is expiring covers extension fees and penalties.

Ways to check from outside Saudi Arabia

Method	What you need	Works abroad?
Muqeem Visa Validity Portal (vv.muqeem.sa)	An account on the portal + your Iqama number	Yes, it is a website
Ask your employer for a Muqeem print of the visa	WhatsApp or email to HR	Yes
Absher Individuals	Your Absher login and the SMS code on your Saudi number	Only if you can receive the SMS

Step 1: Register on vv.muqeem.sa (one time)

Do this before you travel if you can. The steps below follow the portal’s registration page and its official user manual.

Open vv.muqeem.sa. The page loads in Arabic. Click English at the top.
Click Registration.
For ID Type, choose Iqama.
Enter your ID Number (Iqama number) and Birth Date, then click Validate.
Fill in your user details. The form also has tax (VAT) details “if available” and a billing address, because companies use this portal too. As an individual, fill only what applies to you.
Accept the terms and click Confirm.
You get an SMS code on the mobile number registered in Absher.
You also get an activation link by email. Open it, choose a username and password, and click Activate.
Enter the confirmation code sent to your email. You are taken to the login page.

The registration page we checked does not mention any fee.

Step 2: Check your exit re-entry visa

Go to vv.muqeem.sa and log in with your User Name and Password.
Open the visa validity check page.
Choose the visa type: Exit and Re-entry (خروج وعودة).
Enter the Iqama number of the visa holder.
Click Verify (تحقق).
The system shows the visa details and its status.

Take a screenshot and note the last date to return. Book your ticket with a few days to spare.

Visit visas work differently: the manual says a visit visa is checked with the border number, not an Iqama number. If you need that number, see our border number guide.

What is a “Muqeem print” or “Muqeem paper”?

People use “Muqeem print” for two different documents. Know which one you are asking for.

1. The printed exit re-entry visa (from your employer)

Your employer can open your record in the Muqeem system and print your exit re-entry visa. The printout shows the visa period and the last date you can enter Saudi Arabia. HR can send it to you as a PDF while you are on leave. We show the employer’s steps in how to print an exit re-entry visa from Muqeem.

2. The Muqeem report (worker data report)

Absher Business has a service called Muqeem Print Request. Absher says it lets the establishment owner “extract and print the basic information of the workers online.” Key points from Absher’s own guide:

The report is valid for 30 days from the issue date.
It can be verified through the Absher inquiry service using the report reference number and the Iqama number.
Absher notes that it “is not an official document proving the resident’s status, rather it is a data report used for specific purposes only.”

The Muqeem homepage also lists a “Report verification” (التحقق من التقارير) service next to visa validity checks.

Absher Individuals’ service guide also lists a Muqeem Print service for printing the basic information of domestic workers.

Do I need a Muqeem paper to fly back?

We did not find any official rule that says you must carry a Muqeem print to board a flight or enter Saudi Arabia. The visa is checked in the government system. Still, a recent printout or screenshot is handy if an airline agent asks about your return date.

Common problems and fixes

Problem	Likely cause	What to do
No SMS during registration	Your Saudi SIM is off, has no roaming, or Absher has an old number	Turn on roaming for SMS, or update your Absher mobile number, or ask your employer for a Muqeem print

Forgot username or password	—	Use Forgot User Name or Forgot Password on the login page

The old link muqeem.sa/#/visa-validity/check does not work	The open form was replaced by the login portal	Use vv.muqeem.sa

FAQs

Is the Muqeem visa check free?

The registration page and login page do not mention a fee, and the official manual does not describe a payment step for individuals.

Can I check from India without a Saudi SIM?

You can log in from anywhere. The problem is the first registration: it sends an SMS code to the mobile number in your Absher account. If that SIM cannot receive SMS abroad, ask your employer to print the visa for you from Muqeem.

Can I check a family member’s exit re-entry visa?

The portal checks an exit re-entry visa by Iqama number. If you sponsor your family, you can also manage their visas in your own Absher account.

Is “Muqeem print” the same as my Iqama?

No. It is a printout of data from the Muqeem system. Absher says the Muqeem report is not an official document proving residency status. Your Iqama (card or digital Iqama in Absher) is your ID.

Who can extend my exit re-entry visa while I am abroad?

Your sponsor. Jawazat said in January 2025 that exit re-entry visas of residents outside the Kingdom can be extended through Absher and the Muqeem portal after paying the fees. For family members and domestic workers, the head of family uses Absher’s “Extend Exit Re-Entry Visa for sponsorees outside kingdom” service. Ask for it well before the visa ends.
