Absher Travel for Visitors: eligibility, features and how to use the service

Saudi Arabia’s Absher platform has announced details of its new Absher Travel for Visitors service, launched by the Ministry of Interior for all travelers entering the Kingdom through land border crossings. The service is available electronically via the Absher app for citizens of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and other visitors.

What is Absher Travel for Visitors?

According to Absher, the service allows visitors to complete travel requirements online before arriving at land border crossings. This includes registering traveler and vehicle information, as well as the option to complete vehicle insurance, streamlining entry procedures into Saudi Arabia.

Both GCC nationals and non-GCC visitors entering Saudi Arabia via land borders can benefit from the service.

Is Absher login required?

No, visitors can use the service through the Absher app without needing to log in.

How to use the service

To access the service, open the Absher app, select “Absher Travel for Visitors” from the general services menu, choose your ID type, enter the required information, select the border crossing and expected travel date, fill in personal and vehicle details, and complete vehicle insurance if needed.

The service will become mandatory for visitors six months after its launch. It aims to automate and simplify entry procedures for travelers and vehicles by allowing all travel requirements to be completed digitally before arrival, including traveler and vehicle registration and vehicle insurance.
