Important Information

Before relying on the estimate

Absher allows a renewal period starting from three months or multiples thereof.

Absher lists SAR 600 for domestic workers and SAR 500 for a resident family member aged 18 or above.

For establishment workers, HRSD sets work-permit and expatriate-levy amounts according to licence duration and establishment category.

Establishment-worker residence fee note

Hasebio uses SAR 650 per year as the reference estimate for an establishment worker's residence fee. The amount is supported by official Saudi CMA-hosted filings, while the current Absher Business service page does not directly display the fee amount. It is therefore presented as an estimate component, not a final government invoice.
