It has been announced that workers' final-exit visas cannot be revoked during their probationary period by the General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat).
Through the Absher platform, which was set up during the probationary period, the final exit visa cannot be canceled electronically by Jawazat.
By exporting the final-exit visa for workers during their probationary period, employers are able to issue the visa electronically without needing to check with passport departments, since the visa can be exported through Absher Business.
According to Jawazat, issuing a final exit visa is classified and it is a free service, since it cannot be implemented by canceling it or issuing a resident identification card.
The purpose of the visa issuance service is to generate awareness of the need to cut paper use, as well as to facilitate digital transformation and the issuing process.
