Many people need to verify whether someone is currently present in Saudi Arabia or has traveled outside the kingdom. The official Muqeem portal provides a reliable way to check this information online, though the process has changed in recent years to require user registration.
What is the Muqeem portal?
The Muqeem portal is the official Saudi government website that allows users to check visa and residency information. Previously, anyone could access this information using just basic details like an iqama number and date of birth. However, as of 2025, the portal requires users to create an account before accessing visa verification services.
Step-by-step guide to check someone’s status
Create a Muqeem account
Before you can check anyone’s status, you need to register for a Muqeem account if you don’t already have one. Visit the official website and complete the registration process.
Check inside/outside kingdom status
Once you have access to your Muqeem account, follow these steps:
- Visit the Muqeem website at https://vv.muqeem.sa/
- Log in to your account using your registered credentials
- Navigate to visa validity and select the “Exit Re Entry Visa” option
- Choose iqama number option and enter the person’s iqama number
- Provide additional verification by selecting one of the following options:
- Full name
- Passport number
- Date of birth
- Iqama Expiry Date
- Visa Expiry Date
- Enter the required information for your chosen verification method
- Submit the request to view the complete visa details
What information you’ll see
After submitting the request, the system will display:
- Current visa status
- Visa validity dates
- Inside/Outside Kingdom status – this shows whether the person is currently in Saudi Arabia or abroad
Only check the status of individuals for whom you have legitimate reasons and proper authorization.
Conclusion
Checking someone’s presence status in Saudi Arabia is straightforward through the official Muqeem portal, though it now requires account registration. This system provides accurate, up-to-date information about whether someone is inside or outside the kingdom, making it valuable for official verification purposes.
