I worked a year with SRACO in Saudi Arabia and finished my contract on good terms. Unfortunately, it seems they gave me the wrong type of exit visa. They gave me a multiple re-entry visa instead of a final exit visa. Now I can't return to the country until they a) send me a copy of the final exit visa and b) tell the Saudi govt I didnt do a runner. Unfortunately they arent enthused about getting this fixed. Any suggestions?

Wash your passport.

If possible, get new clean passport.

Are you planning to return to KSA to work for another company? (Hopefully, as a direct hire this time around.) If this is the case, perhaps SRACO got wind of your intentions, which is why they're not "enthused" about rectifying your visa problem. But then, their reputation isn't hot to begin with.

I had a problem where my visa expired, they told me I couldn't work in Saudi for 2 years. Another company told me they would accept an NOC, but my company sorted it and I'm going back. Not the same but things can be fixed if the will is there. Not sure how washing the passport would work. Good luck.
