Upon directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud for taking relevant procedures to correct status of the Yemeni expatriates in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (holders of visitors ID), the General Directorate of Passports announced today an extension of visitor identity cards for Yemeni expatriates for a period of another six months in line with a directive from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif Abdulaziz, Deputy Premier and Minister of Interior, starting from ending date of validity 20, Rabi'I , 1438H. In a statement to Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Passports stressed that all arrangements have been completed for online extension of the cards. The directorate has informed that there is no need for Yemenis to visit the Passports offices personally to extend their ID cards. Instead, they can do it from the Abshir service of the Interior Ministry's portal (www.moi.gov.sa) after making online payment of SR100 through bank accounts. The user must log in to personal account on Abshir and type ‘visitor identity.' The card will be printed and delivered to the concerned user through the Wasel service of Saudi Post. In the case of those who have no postal address and have not registered their address on Wasel, a link will appear for them to register their address on Abshir to receive the card, the directorate said.
