Knowing when your Iqama (residency permit) expires is important for expatriates living in Saudi Arabia. Fortunately, checking your Iqama expiry date is easy and can be done online. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to quickly check your Iqama expiry date using the MOI Absher and MOL portals. Let’s get started!
#1: Using Absher Platform
To check your Iqama expiry date on the Absher platform, you need to create an Absher account. Here is how you can check your Iqama validity on the Absher website:
Go to the Absher website at https://absher.sa
Select “Individuals” option.
Then select English and log in with your username and password.
Once logged in, select “Query Iqama Expiry Service” option from the list of services.
Then, enter your iqama number and image code and click on the “View” button.
Instantly the website will show your Iqama expiry date.
Alternatively, you can also check your Iqama validity by downloading the Absher app from your app store. Once downloaded, log in to your account, click on the profile photo, then select the “My Iqama” option to view your Iqama expiration date.
#2: Through the MOL KSA Portal
Another option to check your Iqama expiry date in Saudi Arabia is through the Ministry of Labor’s MOL website. This is the most convenient method, as it does not require any registration. You can check it directly, and here are the steps:
Go to the MOL website at https://www.mol.gov.sa/individualuser/basicinfo.aspx.
Mark the checkbox to agree to the terms, then click the green “Continue” button.
Once you landed on the MOL website, switch the language to English from the top menu.
Then enter your Iqama Number or Border Number in the first field.
Next, select your date of birth in Hijri or Gregorian calander and enter the image code.
Click the “Next” button to continue.
An OTP (one time password) will be sent to your registered mobile number (if your iqama is linked to a mobile number). Enter this OTP to verify your identity.
On the next page, you’ll be able to see your iqama expiry date along with your personal information.
In conclusion, using one of these methods, you can easily keep track of your Iqama expiration date or validity. I hope the article helps.
