  "account": "Yemeni citizens currently residing in Saudi Arabia and possessing valid passports have been informed by the Yemen Embassy in Riyadh that they do not need to acquire temporary travel documents to avail themselves of the royal decree aimed at regularizing their status. The embassy emphasized that applicants must first schedule an appointment via the Absher platform and then visit their nearest passport office to proceed with the necessary steps for regularizing their status. The clarification came after the embassy announced the launch of the first online registration phase for individuals interested in benefiting from the decree. This phase can be accessed through the official websites of both the embassy and the consulate general.\n\nThe embassy elaborated that the initial registration phase serves the purpose of gathering and registering the personal details of those who wish to take advantage of the decree. Following this, the detailed review and verification processes will be carried out, culminating in the issuance of the requisite travel documents to formalize their status, all in line with the established regulations, controls, and instructions. The embassy advised all concerned parties to fill out the electronic registration form with utmost accuracy, providing all relevant information, attaching any available supporting documents, and choosing the suitable region for completing the procedures. It was also instructed that applicants should print the temporary registration document and the accompanying guide, retaining both for presentation when requested by authorities.\n\nThe embassy made it clear that completing the online form is merely a preliminary step and does not automatically mean the acceptance, approval, or finalization of the status regularization process. It was further stressed that online registration allows applicants to schedule a visit to their chosen center. Upon arrival, applicants must present themselves before the respective committees at the appointed time to undergo the review and verification processes and to obtain the temporary document, in strict adherence to the established regulations, controls, and instructions.
