Absher is Saudi Arabia's official e-government platform operated by the Ministry of Interior. It allows individuals and businesses to complete hundreds of government transactions online — including visa renewals, document authentication, passport services and residency management. For employers, Absher Business enables management of employee government records and notifications. Non-compliance or lapsed records on Absher can trigger penalties and visa blocks. Businesses operating in Saudi Arabia must maintain active and accurate Absher Business accounts at all times.
