Issuance of Final Exit Visa
The Final Exit Visa Issuance Service - Business is an online service via Absher Business platform enabling establishment owners to issue final exit visas for expatriate workers to terminate their relationship with the establishment and permanently return to their home country without re-entry.
It is used when employment contracts end, worker unsuitability during probation period, or worker's desire to permanently leave the Kingdom with residency and sponsorship termination. The process starts with establishment owner logging into Absher Business account, selecting My Business Services then Visa Services, pressing Issue Final Exit Visa, searching worker by residency number, reviewing data, accepting terms, entering accurate information like birthplace and marital status, then pressing Issue.
The service requires that neither worker nor employer be registered as deceased, absconded, or with recruitment violations, settling all traffic violations, passport validity 60+ days, worker fingerprint registration, no vehicle registered under worker's name, and worker presence inside the Kingdom at issuance. Post-issuance, employer must destroy residency and assume full responsibility, visa must be used within two months or fines apply, and visa holder must travel with all family members added to passport.
