Saudi Arabia has implemented a new 30-day grace period for expired visit visas, effective since June 26. This significant change allows holders to exit without immediate penalties via the Absher platform. Overstaying beyond this period can lead to hefty fines, potential jail time, and deportation. The country is also transitioning towards skill-based employment visas as part of broader visa reforms, indicating a shift towards a more flexible and transparent immigration system. Stay informed and compliant to avoid severe consequences.
