00:00Saudi Arabia allows e-coma renewal for residents even if family members are abroad.
00:05Decision aims to help expatriates facing difficulties renewing their residency permits.
00:11With the latest updates, your host Hira is here at your service.
00:16According to Saudi Gazette report, Saudi Arabia's General Directorate of Passports has announced a new policy allowing residents to renew their e-coma residency permit,
00:26even if one of their dependents or companions is currently outside the kingdom, provided the head of the household remains in the country.
00:35The new decision aims to help expatriates facing difficulties renewing their residency permits due to a family member being abroad.
00:43The new rule ensures that the presence of the head of the household within Saudi Arabia is sufficient to proceed with the renewal process.
00:50The policy has significant humanitarian and administrative implications, addressing common situations faced by resident families,
00:59such as children traveling for education, one parent accompanying a sick family member for medical treatment, or family emergencies abroad.
01:08Previously, the requirement that all family members be in Saudi Arabia had led to delays and potential legal risks if the e-coma expired.
01:17Under the updated guidelines, families can maintain their legal status and continue receiving essential services,
01:25even if one member is abroad, as long as the head of the household is in the kingdom and manages the renewal process.
01:33Additionally, the director clarified that the extension of exit and re-entry visas for family members outside the kingdom is now fully electronic.
01:41This can be done through the SADAT system and the APSHA platform, removing the need for in-person visits to passport officers.
