OFWs in SAUDI, Embassy Reminds You To Renew Your Passport 9 Months Before Expiration

OFWs in SAUDI, Embassy Reminds You To Renew Your Passport 9 Months Before Expiration. Many countries, especially in the Middle East, require your passport to be valid for 6 months before your departure date. Example, if you are travelling back to the Philippines in December 2017, your passport should be valid at least April 2018. If your passport is expiring earlier than that, chances are, you won't be able to leave Saudi Arabia because immigration will not allow you to leave Saudi Arabia especially if you have re-entry visa, or airlines will refuse you to board your flight. "The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reminds the Filipino community in Saudi Arabia to check the validity of their passports and have it renewed if its validity is 9 months or less. As a matter of policy, the Embassy discourages the extension of ePassports due to the fact that some foreign governments do not recognize the extension stamp, opting to stick to the validity date as stored in the chip of the ePassport. To avoid any inconvenience, Filipinos in Saudi Arabia who wish to renew their passports should obtain an appointment by accessing the Embassy’s official website at, www.riyadhpe.dfa.gov.ph." This is probably because of the delayed or backlog in the printing of new e-passport which until now, the DFA has yet to resolve.

The debate on the proposed 6 percent tax on the remittances of expatriate in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is set to begin this week. According to Saudi Gazette, The Consultative Assembly of Saudi Arabia or The Shura Council will study the said proposal with an aim to help lessen the huge budget deficit of the Kingdom.

The debate on the proposed 6 percent tax on the remittances of expatriate in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is set to begin this week.

According to Saudi Gazette, The Consultative Assembly of Saudi Arabia or The Shura Council will study the said proposal with an aim to help lessen the huge budget deficit of the Kingdom.


The program targets to increase the country’s non-oil revenue collection.

The proposal was made by Hussam Al-Anqari, former chief of the General Auditing Bureau (GAB).




It has been approved by the Shoura’s financial committee and will be put before the general assembly for discussion.

What's in the proposal?
1. A 6% tax will be charged on the amount of remittances of expats in the first year. But gradually the fees will be reduced.


2. The collected funds from expat's tax will be deposited at the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA).

3. There is also a recommendation to put ceiling on cash an expatriate could keep or carry with him when he makes a final exit in the Kingdom.

Anqari said, this proposal is meant to encourage expatriates to spend money in the Kingdom to help the economy.

Anqari added that this will encourage foreign nationals to invest more in the Kingdom.


According to Saudi Central Bank data, roughly 10 million foreign workers transferred $9.4 billion to their home countries in the third quarter of 2016.

These expat remittances have gone up from SR57 billion in 2004 to SR135 billion in 2013.

On the other hand, expatriate workers in Saudi Arabia express concern regarding the burden of the proposed 6 percent tax.

Some Filipinos in the Kingdom said this will have a big impact on their remittances to the Philippines, especially for those who are earning just enough.


Indian workers are also worried about the result of the discussion.

Indian expatriate comprises the 20 percent of the total workforce in private sector in Saudi Arabia.
