If you’re an expat in Saudi Arabia, you may need to visit the passport office (Jawazat) for various services during Ramadan. Since working hours change during the holy month, it’s important to know when these offices are open to avoid unnecessary trips.
General Working Hours for Passport Offices
Throughout Saudi Arabia, regional passport offices will operate Sunday to Thursday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. These timings apply to most offices across different regions and governorates.
