In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), compressed Higgsinos spectrum (Δm0≲1 GeV) occurs when ∣μ∣≪∣M1∣,∣M2∣ and sign(M1⋅M2)<0, which leads to a long-lived next-to-lightest neutralino. Such a long-lived neutralino could be copiously produced at the LHC, however escape the detection at the LHC main detectors. We examine the discovery potential at the FASER experiment and find that the FASER 2 could cover the neutral Higgsino mass up to about 130 GeV with mass splitting between 4 to 30 MeV. It is complementary to both the LHC Higgsino search in the Δm0,±≳1 GeV region, and displaced vertex and disappearing track searches of charginos with Δm±≲1 GeV.
