Final Exit Visa for Family Members

Final Exit Visa Problems
If the Final Exit option is not available, check the basic conditions first. A missing requirement can prevent the service from being completed.
1. Iqama is expired
An expired residency document can prevent Final Exit Visa issuance. Check the residency status and resolve the issue before applying.
2. Traffic violations are unpaid
Applicable traffic violations must be settled before issuing the visa. Check your traffic information through Absher.
3. Passport validity is too short
Check your passport validity. Final Exit Visa issuance has a passport validity requirement.
4. Vehicle is registered under your name
If a vehicle remains registered under your name, this can affect Final Exit issuance. Check your vehicle records and resolve any applicable issue.
5. Person is outside Saudi Arabia
The person must be inside Saudi Arabia when the applicable Final Exit Visa is issued.
6. Fingerprint requirement is not completed
A registered fingerprint is required for applicable individuals. If the requirement is not satisfied, the service may not proceed.
Before starting the Final Exit process, check your Iqama validity, passport validity, traffic violations and vehicle information. This can help you identify problems before submitting the request.
Can a Final Exit Visa Be Cancelled?
Absher provides a service for cancellation of an Exit/Re-Entry or Final Exit Visa in applicable cases.
Cancellation rules can depend on the visa type, person’s status and whether the person is inside Saudi Arabia. Check the current Absher service requirements before attempting cancellation.
Visa cancellation does not automatically mean that paid fees will be refunded. Check the current Absher rules for your specific service.
How to Check Your Final Exit Visa Information
After using Absher visa services, review the information shown in your account and make sure the visa details are correct.
If you are checking a resident’s visa information, use the relevant inquiry or visa service available in Absher for your account.
If the required information does not appear, check your residency status, account access and the relevant Absher service again.
