RIYADH — The General Directorate of Passports stated that any inquiries regarding rectification of status of all types of visit visas, Umrah visas, transit visas, and final exit visas that expired as on February 25, 2026 can be made via the unified contact number 992. In implementation of the Saudi leadership’s directives, the Ministry of Interior had begun recently rectifying the status of those holders of visas, who were unable to leave the Kingdom due to the current circumstances in the region. The ministry revealed that visit visas of all types, Umrah, transit, and final exit visas that have expired as of February 25, 2026, may be extended upon the request of the visitor’s host until April 18, 2026, after paying the legally mandated fees through the Absher platform. Holders of such visas that have expired as of February 25, 2026, are allowed to depart through international points directly, without extending their visas or paying any fees or late fines. The ministry called on all beneficiaries of these directives to depart before April 18 so as to avoid the enforcement of applicable regulations in the Kingdom against violators.
