Saudi Arabia Announces New Fees for Various Visa Services

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior’s Absher Business platform has implemented updated fees for seven services offered to establishments, reports have revealed.

Among the updates, the fee for extending an exit and reentry visa is now SR 103.5. Renewing a residency permit (Iqama) and issuing a final exit visa will cost SR51.75 and SR70, respectively.

Additionally, the fee for issuing an Iqama is SR 51.75 while requesting an employee report is SR 28.75, and updating expatriates’ passport information is SR 69.

Absher Business clarified via its X account that these charges apply to value-added services facilitated through its platform and are not included in the employer’s annual subscription package.

Meanwhile, the Absher Individuals platform has introduced a new service allowing users to report cases of absconding for individuals on visitor visas. Five conditions apply:

1. The visitor must hold a personal or family visit visa.
2. Reports can be filed only 7–14 days after the visa’s expiration.
3. The visit visa status must be expired.
4. Only one report is allowed per visitor.
5. Reports cannot be canceled once submitted.

The Absher platform continues to expand its services, enhancing accessibility and streamlining administrative processes for users.
