Absher, Absher Business offer final exit visa service during probation
Saudi Passports Directorate enables employers and citizens to issue final exit visas for workers and resident family members during probation via Absher platforms.
The General Directorate of Passports in Saudi Arabia has introduced a new service through the Absher platform, allowing employers to issue final exit visas for commercial workers during their probation period. This electronic service, available on the Absher Business platform, streamlines the process by eliminating the need to visit passport offices.
The service is free of charge and crucial for businesses employing commercial workers, as it enables them to issue visas swiftly and efficiently. Once issued, the visa cannot be canceled, nor can the resident identity (Iqama) be renewed, which aids in expediting procedures. The Passports Directorate's objective is to support digital transformation, simplify processes, and achieve a paperless passport sector.
For those with resident family members or domestic workers, the regular Absher platform allows citizens to issue a final exit visa by logging into their account, selecting visa services, choosing the individual, entering the required information, and printing the visa. Importantly, if a final exit visa is issued during the probation period, departure must occur before the visa expires.
