Issue a Final Exit Visa for Your Housemaid/Driver Online via Absher

🟡 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) issues it through Absher Individuals (not Muqeem, which is for companies)
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 (Absher requirement; Jawazat has also said in reported clarifications since January 2025 that at least 30 days should remain)
All traffic fines paid — for the worker and for you as employer
Worker is inside Saudi Arabia
Worker’s passport valid 60 days or more
No vehicles registered under the worker’s name
Worker’s fingerprint registered (age 15+)
All dues settled (end-of-service, salary)

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

Log in to Absher Individuals (absher.sa).
Open Workers services (خدمات العمالة) → Visas (التأشيرات).
Select the domestic worker.
Choose the visa type “Final Exit” (خروج نهائي).
Check the details and conditions, then issue the visa.
The system checks fines, Iqama and passport validity automatically.
There is no fee for a final exit visa.
The visa is issued electronically — print it for the worker.
The worker must leave within two months (60 days) of issuance.

💡 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 (referral link) (Saudi National Bank’s digital app) gives competitive SAR→INR rates and fast transfers to Indian bank accounts — handy for closing out dues cleanly.

❌ After Issuing — What Changes

❓ FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes — there is no government fee for a final exit visa.

Do I need to visit Jawazat?

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

What if the worker overstays the 60 days?

Jawazat says a SAR 1,000 fine applies if the worker does not leave before the final exit visa expires. To cancel the visa, the Iqama must still be valid. If plans change, cancel the visa before it expires.

Can I file Huroob after issuing?

We could not find an official rule on this. If the worker leaves the house, ask Jawazat (@CareAljawazat) before taking any step.
