AMONG THOSE WHO RENEW THEIR IQAMA AND RE-ENTRY AUTOMATICALLY, MANY SAUDI EXPATS STILL HOPE TO RENEW

 JEDDAH: THE FACT THAT MANY SAUDI EXPATRIATES WHO RENEW THEIR IQAMA AND RE-ENTRY AUTOMATICALLY ARE RELIEVED BY THE SAUDI GOVERNMENT'S MOVE, BUT THERE ARE STILL MANY IN THE COUNTRY WHO HAVE YET TO RENEW THEIR TERMS.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE COMPLETED THEIR IQAMA BY AUGUST 31, THE RENEWAL HAS STARTED FOR A MONTH FROM THE EXPIRATION DATE, BUT MANY ARE STILL EXPECTING THEIR TURN TO COME SOON.

AT THE SAME TIME, THOSE WHO COMPLAIN TO JAVASAT THAT THEIR IQAMA AND RE - ENTRY HAVE NOT BEEN RENEWED ARE BEING TOLD BY THE AUTHORITIES THAT THE IQAMA PERIOD AND RE - ENTRY PERIOD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO FLY BACK TO SAUDI ARABIA DUE TO THE CORONA CRISIS, WITHOUT ANY ACCESS TO ANY SYSTEM.

JAVASAT TODAY OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THAT IT HAS STARTED FREE RENEWAL OF IQAMAS AND RE-ENTRY OF DOMESTIC WORKERS.

ALTHOUGH NOT RENEWED AUTOMATICALLY, IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT WITH THE RESUMPTION OF AIR SERVICE, THE AUTHORITIES WILL SUGGEST SOME OTHER SOLUTION.
