The General Directorate of Passports allowed holders of all types of visit visas—even those that have expired—to secure a **30-day extension** for the sole purpose of departing the Kingdom.

The scheme takes effect on **1 Muharram 1447 AH** (June 27, 2025) and will run for a specified period.

Under the initiative, beneficiaries must settle any outstanding visa fees and prescribed fines.

Extensions can be requested directly through the **Tawasul service** on the Ministry of Interior’s **Absher** electronic platform, simplifying the process and reducing the need for in-person visits to passport offices.

A spokesperson for the General Directorate of Passports emphasized that the initiative is designed exclusively for visitors who need additional time to arrange their final departure from Saudi Arabia.

> “We urge all eligible residents and visitors to take advantage of this opportunity within the allotted window,” the statement read.
