The Absher platform has recently introduced several new services, including one through the Absher Individuals platform, allowing host individuals to report absconding cases for visitors who entered Saudi Arabia on a visitor visa.
Absher outlined five conditions for submitting an absconding report: the visitor’s visa must be a personal or family visit visa; the report can only be filed seven days after the visa expires; reports cannot be submitted more than 14 days after the visa expiration; the visa status must be expired; and only one report can be filed per visitor. Once submitted, the report cannot be cancelled.
