This came in response from Jawazat to a question, "I left Saudi Arabia on exit re-entry, due to emergency circumstances, I could not return before the exit re-entry visa expiry and now it has been more than 3 years, can I enter into Saudi Arabia with new work visa"?

Saudi Jawazat received a query on its official Twitter handle stating, "When does a single exit re-entry visa of an expat count for 30 days? Is it from the date of issue or from the date of travel, stating that it was written return before"? Read : 3-years ban from entry into Saudi Arabia for expatriates who failed to return
