Enter the official expiry date already shown in your Absher or Muqeem record, and plan around it privately — days remaining, reminder dates, and a preparation timeline. This tool never checks government records and never asks for your Iqama number.

⚙️ Plan Around Your Official Expiry Date
This planner only calculates dates from what you type below. It does not connect to Absher, Muqeem, Jawazat, or any government system, and it cannot tell you whether your Iqama is currently valid — only what the date you entered means relative to the date you're checking.
Please fix the following before calculating:
Enter the Gregorian date shown in your official record. We do not derive this date for you.

🚫 What This Tool Cannot Do
It cannot look up, check, or confirm your Iqama status against Absher, Muqeem, Jawazat, or any government database.
It cannot tell you whether your Iqama is currently legally valid or officially expired — only official government systems can confirm that.
It cannot calculate or guarantee any renewal fee, grace period, or late-penalty amount.
It cannot confirm your renewal-eligibility window, medical or insurance requirements, or which documents you need.
It cannot send you a real notification or reminder — it only shows you dates to note down yourself.
It never asks for, stores, or transmits your Iqama number, passport number, or name.
📐 Worked Examples
All examples use "today" as 27 July 2026 and calculate calendar days between the two dates you'd enter.
1. Expiry in the future (90 days out)
Official expiry date 25 October 2026, checked as of 27 July 2026. Result: 90 days remaining — "the date you entered is in the future."
2. Expiry is today
Official expiry date 27 July 2026, checked as of 27 July 2026. Result: 0 days — "the date you entered is today."
3. Expiry already passed
Official expiry date 1 May 2026, checked as of 27 July 2026. Result: 87 days have passed — "the date you entered has passed."
4. Leap-year / month-end date
Official expiry date 29 February 2028 (a leap day), checked as of 1 January 2028. Result: 59 days remaining, calculated with exact calendar-day arithmetic — no month-adding shortcuts that can misfire on end-of-month or leap-year dates.
📖 What We Could and Could Not Verify About Renewal
The information below is background reading, kept deliberately separate from the planner's own output above. The planner never uses any of these figures in its calculations.
✅ Where to check your real status
Absher (individuals) and Muqeem/Absher Business (typically used by employers/sponsors) provide official Iqama status and renewal services online, generally showing both Gregorian and Hijri dates.
Confirmed — official portals
🤝 Who usually renews it
For work-visa holders, renewal is often initiated by the employer/sponsor via Muqeem or Absher Business, though individuals can check their own status via Absher. This can vary by employer — confirm directly with yours.
Reported consistently, but responsibility varies by case
💰 Renewal fees
Independent sources cite noticeably different figures depending on category and service channel, and we found no single official fee table we could confidently cite as current. Fees are known to differ for work, dependant, and domestic-worker categories.
Unconfirmed as a universal figure — verify on Absher/Muqeem
⏳ Renewal lead time
Sources disagree on exactly how many days before expiry renewal becomes available. We do not assert a specific window as fact — use this planner's reminders to plan ahead, then confirm exact eligibility when you're ready to act.
Unconfirmed — sources conflict
⚠️ Late renewal
Multiple non-government sources describe grace periods and escalating fines for late renewal, but the figures and structure vary between sources, so this page does not restate specific day-counts or amounts as fact.
Unconfirmed — figures vary by source
🩺 Medical/insurance conditions
Valid health insurance and resolved traffic fines are commonly listed as general conditions for government transactions, including Iqama renewal. A mandatory medical test for every renewal was not confirmed as universal — it appears to vary by category.
Partially confirmed — varies by category
⚠️ A claim we corrected: some sources (including an earlier version of this page) describe a "30-day grace period before deportation" for an expired Iqama. In this review, the confirmed 30-day grace period we could source applies specifically to expired visit visas, letting holders exit the Kingdom without penalty — a separate and unrelated rule. We found no primary-source confirmation of a specific day-count deportation trigger for an expired Iqama, so that claim has been removed rather than repeated here.
🔒 Privacy
This planner never asks for your Iqama number, passport number, or name — we don't need them to calculate dates. Every calculation runs in your browser using JavaScript; the dates you type in are never sent to any server, logged, or stored by this tool.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does this tool actually calculate?
It takes the official Iqama expiry date you type in and a check date (defaulting to today), then calculates how many days remain or have passed, plus optional reminder dates (30/60/90 days before expiry, or a custom lead time). It does not look up, verify, or confirm your expiry date against any government record — it only does arithmetic on the date you provide.
Where do I find my official Iqama expiry date?
Check Absher (absher.sa) under individual services, or Muqeem/Absher Business if your employer manages your record. These portals typically display the expiry date in both Gregorian and Hijri calendars. Enter the Gregorian date shown in your official record into this planner — we do not convert between calendars ourselves.
Does this tool check Absher, Muqeem, or Jawazat for me?
No. This planner has no connection to any government system and cannot see your actual Iqama record. It only calculates dates from what you type in. For your real, current status, always check Absher, Muqeem, or your employer directly.
How much does Iqama renewal cost, and is there a grace period or late penalty?
We found inconsistent figures across independent sources for renewal fees, grace periods, and late penalties, and no single official fee schedule we could confidently cite as current and universal — these details vary by Iqama category (work, dependant, domestic worker) and can change. This planner does not calculate or display any fee or penalty amount. Confirm current figures on Absher, Muqeem, or with your employer/sponsor before budgeting or making decisions.
How early can I renew before my Iqama expires?
Sources we reviewed disagreed on the exact renewal window, so we do not state a specific number of days as fact. Use the reminder feature in this planner to give yourself lead time, then confirm the exact renewal-eligibility window on Absher or Muqeem when you're ready to act.
What happens if my Iqama expires before I renew?
We cannot tell you, and this planner does not attempt to. It will only tell you that the date you entered has passed and by how many days. Some sources describe consequences such as fines for late renewal; a specific claim about automatic deportation after a fixed number of days could not be confirmed against a primary source in our review and has been removed rather than repeated. Contact your employer/sponsor or check Absher/Muqeem directly if your Iqama has expired.
Do I need a medical test to renew my Iqama?
Valid health insurance and a clean record of resolved fines are commonly listed as general conditions for government transactions in Saudi Arabia, including Iqama renewal. We did not find confirmation that a specific medical test is a universal requirement for every Iqama renewal — this appears to vary by category. Verify the exact requirements for your case on Absher or Muqeem.
Is my Iqama number or personal data stored or sent anywhere?
This tool never asks for your Iqama number, name, or passport number, and it never should — we do not need it to calculate dates. All calculations run in your browser; the dates you enter are not sent to any server or stored anywhere by this tool.
Who is responsible for renewing my Iqama — me or my employer?
For work-visa holders, renewal is often initiated by the employer/sponsor through Muqeem or Absher Business, though individuals can view their own status through Absher. Responsibility can vary by employer and case type, so confirm directly with your employer or sponsor who is expected to act.
