As per revised labor law the probation period is 6 months. But most companies are yet to adopt it. If you have a signed contract that states the probation is 90 days then that will previal.

Article (40) of the labor law states:
(1) An employer shall incur the fees pertaining to recruitment of non-Saudi workers, the fees of the residence permit (Iqama) and work permit together with their renewal and the fines resulting from their delay, as well as the fees pertaining to change of profession, exit and re-entry visas and return tickets to the worker’s home country at the end of the relation between the two parties.
(2) A worker shall incur the costs of returning to his home country if he is unfit for work or if he wishes to return to his home country without a legitimate reason.A worker shall incur the costs of returning to his home country if he is unfit for work or if he wishes to return to his home country without a legitimate reason.

So if your reason of resignation is just b'z you are not happy and want to leave the job and go back to your home country you are violating the contract you agreed into with your employer and hence may have to depending on the type of contract , not just pay for the visa / iqama/ ticket but also penalty on the contract.

thank you for your response,
can i also told to them that they will be penalized also because they are holding our original passport and visa,  and not giving a copy of contract, as i remember, there is no statement in the contract that i will pay for iqama/visa/ticket,
the reasom behind my resignation is delay of salary and mismanagement of the company.

Right now, i dont have enough money to pay visa/iqama and ticket, .

Holding passport and original documents needs to be taken up by the authorities and the organization. But as for you , even if you have paid for the visa / iqama before - in the eyes of law its as if the company has paid this for you.

If the reason for leaving is due to delay in salary then this is a legitimate reason and you could approach the competent authorities that can help you move out without paying anything.

on my contract is says that, our salary is every 30th of the month
on my 1st salary , 5days delay, 2nd month 10 days delay and in my 3rd salary, now on its 25th day delayed. and they are promising that next month no delayed will happen again..

Short delays like this are excusable, if its more than a month then you have a point.

"expenses relative to his repatriation back to his point of origin"...  does not include all the expenses your employer spent for you to come to ksa..  air fare, visa, iqama, etc..

what do you mean by that? in my understanding, if i resigned without any notice, ill pay all the expenses. but if i give them a written notice with 1 month advance, im free for all the expenses. i dont have to pay them.

thank you for your reply.
