A Nepali living in Saudi Arabia and your passport is expiring? Here is how to renew it through the Embassy of Nepal in Riyadh (and the Consulate General in Jeddah).
Saudi Arabiaमा बस्ने नेपालीले दूतावासबाट राहदानी नवीकरण गर्ने तरिका।
Nepalis in Saudi Arabia renew their passport through the Embassy of Nepal in Riyadh (and the Consulate General in Jeddah). Renewal issues a brand-new e-Passport — it is not just an extension. Applications are processed via Kathmandu, so it takes longer than in Nepal; start 3–4 months before expiry.
Where: the Embassy of Nepal in Riyadh (and the Consulate General in Jeddah), in Riyadh. Check the mission's official website/notices for the current appointment system, opening hours and exact fee in SAR.
Step-by-Step
- Complete the online pre-enrollment for the e-Passport and note your application number.
- Book an appointment with the Embassy of Nepal in Riyadh (and the Consulate General in Jeddah) (many missions use an online booking system).
- Attend in person — biometrics (photo, fingerprints, signature) must be captured at the mission.
- Submit your old passport and citizenship (originals + copies), plus your Saudi Arabia residence permit/visa if requested.
- Pay the fee in SAR as set by the mission.
- Collect or receive your new e-Passport once it is printed in Kathmandu and returned.
Documents Checklist
- Old passport (original + copy).
- Citizenship certificate (original + copy).
- Online application / pre-enrollment number.
- Saudi Arabia residence permit / visa / ID copy if requested.
- For minors: birth certificate and parents documents.
