Interior Ministry Announces ‘Absher Travel for Visitors’ Service at Land Border Points
RIYADH – The Ministry of Interior on Monday inaugurated the “Absher Travel for Visitors” service electronically through the Absher app for Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nationals and other visitors entering through all of the Kingdom’s land border crossings.
The service was launched in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Tourism, the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA), the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA), the Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST), the Insurance Authority, the General Directorate of Passports and Public Security.
