"Saudi Arabia: SR500 fine for delayed expat ID", 4 August 2022
Cairo: Saudi authorities have said that a fine of SR500 is imposed for delay in issuing a resident ID card for an expatriate worker 90 days after his/her entry into the kingdom.
The General Directorate of Passports pointed out that a worker’s resident ID is issued via Absher or Muqeem digital portal through the employer after related fees are paid and a medical examination is provided for the beneficiary.
The directorate has allowed employers to apply for issuing and renewing resident IDs for workers under their sponsorship electronically on a quarter or biannual basis via both portals.
Saudi Arabia hosts a large community of migrant workers.
