The General Directorate of Passports is responsible for various tasks, including the issuance of residency permits in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, entry and exit visas, and Saudi passports. In addition to the regulations, instructions, and procedures for citizens and expatriates, the directorate issues necessary travel documents to facilitate their movements to and from the Kingdom, ensures their lawful residency in foreign countries, and records their departures and arrivals.

The directorate is responsible for regulating and managing the affairs of expatriates, including their entry, reception, and the organization of their stay in the Kingdom, whether for work, visits, or performing Hajj and Umrah rituals. The directorate also monitors their legal status in the Kingdom, issues the necessary travel visas, and keeps records of their arrivals and departures.
