Saudi Arabia has issued a strict warning to individuals residing illegally in the country after their visas expire. According to a Gulf News report published on Monday, those who overstay their visas could face fines of up to 50,000 Saudi riyals, imprisonment for up to six months, deportation, and a future entry ban. The Ministry of Interior stated that the move aims to enforce residency and labor laws more rigorously and to prevent misuse of entry visas.
The ministry urged citizens and residents to report any suspected violations of residency, labor, or border security laws. A 24-hour hotline has been established for this purpose, with residents of Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province instructed to call 911, while those in other regions should dial 999. Authorities said the measures are part of broader efforts to strengthen security, protect the labor market, and reduce legal violations.
The report added that Saudi authorities are currently conducting a nationwide campaign targeting violators of residency, labor, and border laws, under which the new directive has been implemented.
