RIYADH: Expatriates in Saudi Arabia who have an exit and re-entry visa or final exit visa to return to their countries can now submit an online application through the Absher platform, the Saudi Ministry of Interior has announced, said a report.
Requests for travel from expatriates will be received and approved in coordination with the relevant authorities to complete their travel procedures on board international flights, a report in Saudi Gazette said.
Based on this information, expats can then buy air tickets. Those who apply must provide a residency number (iqama), date of birth, cellphone number, the city they will depart from and the airport they wish to fly to. A registered Absher account is not required to submit the request.
Flights will depart from Riyadh, Jeddah, Madinah and Dammam. People who live outside the departure cities will be given enough time to reach them after requests are approved, the report said.
