Passports clarify resident ID steps for domestic workers
The General Directorate of Passports provides an electronic service for issuing a Residence Identity for domestic workers through the Absher platform. The goal is to organize the residency status and reduce the need to visit passport offices. The service includes issuing the ID for periods starting from three months, which is done after fulfilling the basic requirements such as paying the fees, completing the medical examination for the worker, and verifying the accuracy of the data. Employers must start the procedures immediately upon the worker's arrival in the Kingdom; a penalty of 500 Riyals is imposed if the ID is not issued within 90 days of the worker's entry. The service is flexible, allowing the selection of the intended duration of stay, and it helps facilitate the management of worker data and residency procedures through electronic platforms.
