(Najamuddin Ghanghro, Karachi(original from Larkana))
As per a new Saudi Government
directive fingers prints of *all departing passengers even on Exit reentry Visa
* will also be taken while leaving the kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the
Immigration Counters while stamping the Passports.** **
Due to this new procedure adopted by the authorities it is taking more time &
long queues at the Immigration, *most of airlines* have started closing Check-In
counters 2 hours before flight departures, so are requesting Passengers to
report at the Airport at least minimum 4 hours before flight departure to ensure
timely check in and boarding.
Effective from 25 November, The Immigration Authority at Dammam Airport has
implemented new procedure that all passengers departing from Dammam Airport have
to undergo finger printing upon departure and arrival.
This Procedure is applicable to Saudi Iqama holder with Exit Reentry visa
Passengers as well.
*Please advise all passengers to report 4 hours before departure to complete
their travel formalities. *
You are requested to pass on this Message verbally while handing over tickets &
also inform all concerned travel coordinators.
