It can be issued but will only be valid till before the date of iqama expiry.聽 However, keep in mind that with an expired iqama and ERE, you will not be able to come back.聽 So get everything renewed before you go.

@XTang is it possible for me to come back 1 day before my iqama expiry? They can still issue me the visa?

yes they can do that, though you need to be on the safe side (for any flights delays, cancellations鈥tc.).
