RIYADH: Citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states, dependents of residents, and visitors holding valid tourist visas can now make the most of the e-services being provided by Saudi Arabia’s interior ministry through its Absher platform.
The move by the General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) in cooperation with the National Information Center allows the new beneficiaries to register themselves on the electronic platform in order to avail the services, Jawazat said in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency on Monday.
Jawazat also pointed out that dependents of the residents can register themselves on the platform using the resident identity numbers, while GCC citizens and those holding tourist visas can use their border entry numbers.
The registration and activation of the account can be done through self-service machines, Jawazat branches, or e-channels of Saudi banks that provide this service, Jawazat further clarified.
