🟡 Final Exit for Domestic Workers Now on Absher

Saudi Passports (@AljawazatKSA) confirmed: “Final exit visa for domestic workers can be issued electronically via #Absher.” This is a big relief for expat households — you no longer need to visit Jawazat in person to send a housemaid, driver, or other domestic worker home on a final exit.

📣 “Final exit visa for domestic workers can be issued electronically via #Absher.” — @AljawazatKSA (Saudi Passports)

For Indian expats sponsoring domestic help, this is one of the most common pain points — and now it’s a few clicks online.

Who This Applies To

Domestic workers under your sponsorship: housemaid, driver, cook, nanny, gardener
The sponsor (you, the Kafeel) initiates it through Absher Muqeem
The worker must be inside Saudi Arabia when the visa is issued

If you are the worker yourself leaving permanently, see the full Saudi Final Exit Visa Complete Guide.

✅ Before You Start — Checklist

Worker’s Iqama valid ≥ 30 days (required since Jan 2026)
No pending traffic fines under the worker’s name
All dues settled (end-of-service, salary)

🪜 Step-by-Step: Issue Final Exit via Absher

Log in to Absher (absher.sa) → Muqeem services.
Go to “Issues” / خدمات → select Passports (Jawazat) services.
Choose “Issue Final Exit Visa” (إصدار تأشيرة الخروج النهائي).
Select the domestic worker from your sponsored list.
Confirm details — name, Iqama number, passport number.
The system checks fines/Iqama validity automatically.
Fee = SAR 0 for sponsored domestic workers (free).
Visa is issued electronically — no stamping needed for the exit itself.

💡 Tip: Keep a PDF/screenshot of the issued visa. The worker may be asked to show it at the airport.

💰 Send the Settlement Home (SNB Neo)

Before your worker leaves, you’ll likely settle end-of-service dues or send money to their family in India. SNB Neo (Saudi National Bank’s digital app) gives competitive SAR→INR rates and fast transfers to Indian bank accounts — handy for closing out dues cleanly.

❓ FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes — Final Exit Visa fee is SAR 0 for sponsored workers, including domestic workers.

Do I need to visit Jawazat?

No. As @AljawazatKSA confirmed, it’s issued electronically via Absher.

What if the worker overstays the 60 days?

The visa can’t be extended. You’d have to cancel (SAR 1,000) and re-issue, or the worker risks overstay penalties.

Can I file Huroob after issuing?

No. Once a final exit is issued, you cannot file an absconding report.
