Jail time and hefty fine for failing to report departure of visit visa holders promptly
In a bid to crack down on visa violations, Saudi Arabia has implemented strict penalties for individuals who fail to report the departure of visit visa holders in a timely manner.
Those found guilty of delaying the reporting of a visitor’s departure face a 6-month jail sentence and a hefty fine of SR50,000. This move is part of the government’s efforts to ensure greater compliance with visa regulations and to prevent individuals from overstaying their visas.
Authorities are urging all residents and sponsors to promptly report the departure of their visitors to avoid facing these severe penalties. Failure to do so not only puts the individual at risk of legal consequences but also undermines the country’s efforts to maintain a secure and regulated visa system.
