The General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) confirmed that it has nothing to do with receiving domestic workers when they arrive to work in Saudi Arabia for the first time, but rather, it is the responsibility of the recruitment offices. It has also stated that responsibility of receiving the domestic workers upon their return, after leaving Saudi Arabia on an exit and re-entry visa, is the responsibility of the employer. The Jawazat called on everyone to contact the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) if they have any inquiry in this regard. It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Interior has provided an electronic authorization service, a new feature, allowing the beneficiaries who wish to authorize others to receive female domestic workers when they arrive to work in Saudi Arabia. The Absher platform has revealed that the e-authorization service is available in 4 airports in the Kingdom, which are: King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh; King Fahd Airport in Dammam; King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah; Prince Mohammed Airport in Madinah. The e-authorization service period lasts for 30 days only from the date of its issuance, the ministry said, noting that the e-authorization service can be canceled during authorization period. The requirements and rules of the Ministry of Interior would also be applied in the service.
