 A lot of people who have moved out of Saudi Arabia have this apprehension that they are blacklisted in Saudi Arabia due to some small violations of laws. Today we have decided to address this issue and provide you with a way to check if you are blacklisted in Saudi Arabia. 
 Check if you are blacklisted due to criminal activities in Saudi Arabia
 Someone could be blacklisted or banned to enter back to Saudi Arabia due to several issues and the most important one is the criminal activities. If you are involved in any of the 8 activities described in the provided link and an official complaint was registered against you, you don’t even need to check it.

 It is also important to mention here that in case of criminal activity; an expatriate is banned to enter back to Saudi Arabia for the lifetime. If only a case was registered against him, but he left the country before prosecution, he would be arrested as soon as he lands in any of the GCC countries and will be brought to Saudi Arabia for the probe and prosecution.

 Check if you are blacklisted due to Huroob in Saudi Arabia
 If your sponsor has declared you an absconder (Huroob) which means that you are not reporting to the work, the authorities would start looking for you and as soon as you are caught, you will be transferred to a detention center.
 
 In this detention center, they will take your fingerprints and process your final exit and deport you from Saudi Arabia. What is the duration of the ban in case of deportation due to Huroob?

 Check if you are blacklisted due to exit re-entry visa in Saudi Arabia
 Another common reason due to which people want to check if they are blacklisted in Saudi Arabia is that they didn’t return back to Saudi Arabia within the validity of the exit re-entry visa. Earlier, the rule of the country was that if an employer doesn’t report against you, there is no blacklisting or ban on an employee.
 However, recently the Saudi government has changed the rule and now there is an automatic ban imposed on those employees who flee the country on an exit re-entry visa and don’t return back. We have written a detailed article on this topic which can be read here. Recommended: What is the ban period on failing to return on Exit Re-Entry Visa?
 Check if you are blacklisted by the Kafeel in Saudi Arabia
 People also want to check if they are blacklisted in Saudi Arabia due to the fact that they had a little disagreement with their sponsor at the time he was issuing a final exit to them. Well, you don’t need to worry about it at all.
 The ministry of interior doesn’t give this right to a sponsor or kafeel to decide the destiny of his employee. I have written a detailed article on this subject which everyone with his apprehension should read. Recommended: Can Kafeel ban or blacklist expatriate with Final Exit?
