Iqama is mandatory under residency law in Saudi Arabia. Work permits are issued by the Ministry of Manpower for the workers, which have separate rules, but Iqama matters are determined in the permits after approval by the Ministry of Manpower.
The laws regarding the exodus of Nahai and the exodus of return have been explored by some people with justifications.
A person on Juzaat's Twitter inquired, 'The company is in the red category of 'Nataq Al-Ahmar' while the Iqama has also expired, in this case, the exit may be invalid?

Valid Iqama is mandatory for non-exit visa. After the exit ban is imposed, the foreign worker has 60 days to leave the country.
It should be noted that if the company is in the red zone, in this case, for the relief of the affected workers, the committee for the resolution of differences between wages and salaries of the Ministry of Manpower should be consulted.
The authority of the committee of the ministry is given to the worker to renew his iqama, after which if the worker wants to work in another place by concession, then it is his will, otherwise deportation can be imposed.
Regarding exit visa, a person inquired, 'Exit visa has expired four months ago. Is it possible to extend its period now?
In response to the question, Juzaat said that 'if the foreign worker is not included in the category of 'Exit Will Yad' in the system of Juzaat and his file is open in the system, in this case, the extension of the period of his exit promise will be extended by the sponsor. Basani can be done from resident account'.
For extension of exit permit, the extension is to be done after submitting the fee for the required period, but it is mandatory that the worker's Iqama is also valid.
If the Iqama has also expired and the worker is not blocked in the permit system, then the period of exit will be extended after the first Iqama.
