5 Conditions to Issue Final Exit Visas
⚠️ This article is archived. For the complete, updated guide with 2026 rules, see the Final Exit Visa Complete Guide.
Announcement
According to a recent announcement by Jawazaat, Applicants who seek final exit visas must adhere to the following conditions. They must ensure that
1- There should be no vehicle registered in applicant’s name. 2- They Should fully settle all the financial dues owed to others. 3- There should be no Unused visa registered under the applicant’s name. 4- The applicant’s passport should have a validity of at least 60 days 5- The applicant must be inside the kingdom while applying Final Exit Visas
Still current in 2026, plus extra conditions: Absher Business’s service guide also requires that all traffic fines are paid and that fingerprints are on file (for those aged 16 and over). Jawazat has said the iqama must be valid to issue the visa (reported since January 2025 as at least 30 days left). Jawazat statements cite 60 days of passport validity, but the Absher Business guide asks for 90 days, so keeping at least 90 days is the safe choice. Source: Absher Business guide.
Validity of the Final Exit Visa
The validity of the “final-exit” visa is 60 days from the date of its issuance and the “final-exit” visa cannot be extended further.
Final Exit Visa Fees
Fee for getting a final exit visa = SAR 0. The Service is free of cost.
Fine upon Visa Cancellation
The visa can be canceled via the sponsor’s (kafeel’s) account on “Absher” or “Muqeem” apps, with the payment of SR1,000 fine in the case where the expatriate employee does not leave from the Kingdom.
Huroob after Final Exit Visa Application
The kafeel has no right to file a “huroob” report with the authorities after the issuance of an exit-only visa. Then it is necessary to cancel the exit-only visa so that the sponsor can report the worker as having absconded or what is known as filing a case of “huroob”.
Source: Saudi Gazette, June 2021. The 60-day validity and the SR1,000 fine for not leaving were restated by Jawazat in June 2026 (KPMG summary).
