The Ministry of Interior (represented by the General Directorate of Passports) and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development have launched flexible residency services for domestic workers. Employers can now issue or renew permits for terms as short as three months and pay fees on a quarterly basis.

Previously, permit renewals were limited to one- or two-year terms. By allowing payments in three-month increments, this initiative provides employers with greater financial flexibility and aligns with ongoing efforts to modernize residency services through digital transformation.
