New Iqama Renewal Fees and Exit Reentry Visa Charges in Saudi Arabia 2025
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has updated the fees for various services on the Absher Business platform, including Iqama renewal fees, exit reentry visa charges, and related administrative costs.
These changes were announced via the official Absher Business account on X (formerly Twitter) and are now effective for all business users managing expat affairs through the platform.
What Is Absher Business?
Absher Business is an official e-platform by the Ministry of Interior that allows Saudi employers and businesses to manage essential services for their employees. It includes visa issuance, Iqama renewal, reporting services, and more.
Note: These updated fees apply to value added services only. They do not affect annual packages or individual applications submitted by workers or visitors.

As of 2025, the following service charges apply to businesses using Absher:

Exit Reentry Visa Fee Changes in Saudi Arabia
The exit reentry visa fee has increased to SAR 103.50, reflecting the latest adjustments under the new rules. This fee applies when extending a reentry visa for employees traveling outside Saudi Arabia temporarily.
For those applying independently or through Absher Individuals, these changes may not apply.
New Absher Rules for Visitor Visa Absconding Reports
Alongside the fee updates, Absher Individuals now allows Saudi hosts to report absconding visitors under specific conditions:
- The report must be submitted 7-14 days after the visa expiration.
- Only personal or family visit visas are eligible.
- One report per visitor is allowed.
- Once submitted, the report cannot be canceled.
This is part of a broader push to monitor visitor compliance and improve visa system integrity in Saudi Arabia.
