Key Facts: Muqeem is mainly used by Saudi employers and authorised establishments to manage expatriate Iqama, visa, exit-reentry, final-exit, and employee records. Individuals should generally use Absher for personal status checks and verify visa validity before travel.

Muqeem is a Saudi digital platform used mainly by employers, establishments, and authorised representatives to manage expatriate-resident services, including Iqama, exit/re-entry visas, final-exit visas, and employee reports. Individuals who only need to check an exit/re-entry visa can use the official Absher Exit/Re-Entry Visa Status service. This official service shows exit/re-entry visa details, including relevant visa information and last entry.
Muqeem is a Saudi government e-service solution targeting establishments to carry out transactions with non-Saudi employees and residents online. It facilitates various services that include renewing the Iqama, issuing the exit/re-entry visa, final-exit visa, employee information, and reports related to travel. It is not intended for use by employers, HR, establishment representatives, or authorised establishment representatives, as a general personal portal for all employees.

Use the official portal. Avoid entering Iqama, passport, or company information on unofficial “visa-check” websites.
Muqeem logins are generally for:
Employees generally should not assume they can create an establishment-level Muqeem account. For personal visa, Iqama, and exit/re-entry checks, Absher Individuals or the official visa-status enquiry service is usually more appropriate.
A business generally needs an eligible Saudi establishment record, authorised representative details, valid contact information, and access to the relevant government identity-verification process.
Nafath may be used to confirm the identity of the authorised person handling the establishment account.
After verification and subscription activation, the establishment can access available Muqeem services. Confirm current registration steps and fees directly through Muqeem before payment.
Depending on the service, you may need:

Always check the dates, visa type, and return conditions, not only the visible status.
A single exit/re-entry visa normally permits one departure and return within its validity. A multiple exit/re-entry visa allows multiple trips during the stated period.
The return-before date is the deadline by which the resident must return to Saudi Arabia. Missing this deadline can affect residency and future travel.
Check whether the visa is valid by date or duration. The result should be read with the relevant issue date, return date, and Iqama validity.
The official Absher service allows beneficiaries to view exit/re-entry details for workers, including visa information and their last entry into Saudi Arabia.
Employers can use Muqeem services to review expatriate employee records, including Iqama-related details, renewals, and reports. Individual employees should use Absher for their own personal Iqama details where available.
Employers can issue and manage exit/re-entry visas for eligible employees through authorised channels.
Establishments may process final-exit visas for employees, subject to the applicable Saudi labour and immigration requirements.
Muqeem can help establishments generate employee, residency, visa, and travel-related reports for HR and compliance purposes.
Employers may review relevant entry, exit, and travel information for their sponsored employees.
