How to Check Exit Re-Entry Visa Without Absher
You do not need an Absher login to confirm your exit and re-entry visa. The public Muqeem visa-validity portal lets anyone check the status using an Iqama or visa number, and it works from inside or outside Saudi Arabia. This guide explains exactly how to do it and what each result means.

Open the public Muqeem visa-validity portal at vv.muqeem.sa, choose the exit/re-entry visa type, enter your Iqama number and one matching detail (passport number, date of birth or visa expiry date), and submit. No Absher account is needed, and it works from abroad.
Why you can skip Absher
Absher is the most complete portal, but it requires a personal account tied to a Saudi mobile number. If you are already abroad, between jobs, or simply cannot log in, that becomes a problem right when you need to confirm your visa before flying back.
The Muqeem visa-validity service exists for exactly this. It is a public lookup that does not ask you to log in, so it is the simplest way to confirm an exit and re-entry visa from anywhere in the world.
Check through Muqeem step by step
Use the public Muqeem visa-validity portal. You only need your Iqama number and one detail to cross-match.
Via Muqeem
Muqeem is the platform used by establishments and sponsors.
- Visit the Muqeem platform at muqeem.sa.
- Log in, or use the public inquiry option if your sponsor has enabled it.
- Enter your Iqama number, and if asked, your passport number, date of birth or expiry date.
- Submit the form to see your Iqama validity and status.
What you need before you start
- Your Iqama number (or the visa number)
- One matching detail: passport number, date of birth, visa expiry date or Iqama expiry date
- A few minutes and an internet connection — that is all
Reading the result
Muqeem returns a clear status. An active visa shows it is valid and usable, along with the date you must return by. A used single-entry visa cannot be used again even if the date has not passed. An expired status means the return-by date has gone and the visa is no longer valid.
If you do not understand the wording you see, our guide to what each exit re-entry status means breaks down every message.

Frequently asked questions
Does this really work from outside Saudi Arabia?
Yes. The public Muqeem visa-validity portal can be reached from any country and does not need an Absher account, which is why it is the recommended check before flying back.
Is it free?
Yes. Checking visa validity through Muqeem is free. You only pay when an actual paid transaction such as issuing or extending a visa is carried out.
Muqeem says my visa is used — what does that mean?
A single-entry exit and re-entry visa is consumed the first time you return to the Kingdom. Once used, it cannot be used again, even if its expiry date has not yet passed.
