Saudi Arabia’s General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) provides an electronic service that allows establishments to issue a final exit visa for eligible workers during the probation period through the Absher Business platform.
The service is designed to make the process faster and easier for employers by allowing the procedure to be completed electronically without the need to visit a Passport Office.
What Is the Final Exit Visa During the Probation Period Service?
The service enables an establishment owner/employer to issue a Final Exit Visa during the 90-day probation period for a worker who has not yet been issued an Iqama (resident identity). The service is available through Absher Business.
According to the official Absher service guide, the service is intended for establishment owners and is processed immediately through the Absher Business platform.
Key Conditions for the Service
According to Absher’s official requirements:
- The worker must be within the 90-day probation period.
- The worker must not have been issued an Iqama.
- The worker must not be registered as deceased, absent from work, or outside Saudi Arabia.
- There must be no unpaid traffic violations registered against the worker.
- The worker’s passport must have at least 60 days of validity remaining.
How Employers Can Access the Service
Employers can access the service through:
Absher Business → My Business Services → Issue Final Exit Visa During Probation Period
The official Absher guide states that the service is completed electronically and immediately through Absher Business.
No Need to Visit the Passport Office
One of the main advantages of the electronic service is that eligible employers can complete the final-exit procedure digitally instead of visiting a Passport Office.
This supports Saudi Arabia’s wider digital transformation of government services and simplifies administrative procedures for businesses.
The service is not merely theoretical: Absher’s official statistics show that 57,077 final-exit visas were issued during the probation period in 2024, demonstrating significant use of the service.
Important Note for Employees
This service applies specifically to the official conditions and eligibility requirements listed by Absher. Employees and employers should verify the worker’s status and all requirements on the Absher Business platform before proceeding.
Conclusion
The Final Exit Visa During Probation Period service is another important digital service available through Absher Business. It allows eligible establishments to complete the process electronically, helping reduce paperwork, save time, and avoid unnecessary visits to government offices.
