Expiro
Read full descriptionHide full description
For expat families in Saudi Arabia and the UAE: every iqama, Emirates ID, residence visa, passport (renewed at your embassy), istimara, Mulkiya and driver's license for the whole household on one Hijri and Gregorian calendar. Each document shows the date to start renewing, what to do first (medical, inspection, insurance), the fine you avoid and the official app to open. Miss an iqama renewal and the first offense costs SAR 500. RENEWAL GUIDES WITH OFFICIAL SOURCES Open a Saudi or UAE document and follow its renewal guide: โข Who renews it: you, the head of the household or your employer โข The steps in order, with the prerequisites marked "do this first" โข Buttons for the official app or site: Absher, Muqeem, ICP, GDRFA, RTA or MOI โข The government source and the date it was last checked โข Passports link to your home country's passport service (India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Egypt) If a passport expires before the iqama or residence visa can be renewed, Expiro tells you to renew the passport first. THE FINE, BEFORE IT HAPPENS Expiro shows a fine only when an official source publishes it, with the date it was checked. If you're late, it shows what the fine has reached. Where no figure is published, it says so and points you to the official app. HOUSEHOLD CALENDAR Spouse, children, parents, domestic workers: one calendar, grouped by month, shows who needs what and when. Share a household summary as text or PDF. HIJRI DATES Show dates Hijri first or Gregorian first, with the other calendar alongside (Umm al-Qura). Enter the date from an iqama card with the Hijri picker. Widgets and reminders use the same calendar. REMINDERS THAT KEEP COMING Reminders count back from the renew-by date, not the expiry date. Expiro plans them for the whole household within iOS's notification limit, so every document keeps its next reminder, however many people you add. COVERED โข Saudi Arabia: iqama, exit/re-entry visa, istimara, driver's license, insurance, passport, work permit โข UAE: Emirates ID, residence visa, Mulkiya, driver's license, health insurance โข Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman: ID and residence cards, vehicle registration โข Philippines: passport (9-month rule) and OEC โข Everywhere: the 6-month passport rule, licenses, insurance, warranties, subscriptions SCANNING THAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Point the camera at a passport, iqama, Emirates ID or driver's license.

PRO FOR THE HOUSEHOLD. Free: one person and three documents, with renewal guides, scanning, reminders, sync and widgets.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Tanbeehat at daily against Expiro's every 3 weeks. Tanbeehat also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
