Important

What You Should Know

Zero Worker Fees — It's the Law

Saudi law prohibits charging domestic workers recruitment fees. As the employer, you are responsible for all official recruitment and processing costs, allowing workers to arrive without recruitment-related debt.

Musaned Is Mandatory

All domestic worker contracts in Saudi Arabia must be registered on the Musaned platform. Any recruitment process conducted outside Musaned does not comply with Saudi domestic worker recruitment regulations.

Violators Face Heavy Fines

Employers who fail to comply with applicable regulations may face fines of up to SAR 20,000 per violation, along with other penalties that may include a temporary recruitment ban. Our service helps ensure every process is completed in full compliance with Saudi regulations.

2-Year Contract Required for New Visas

New domestic worker visas are issued using the official 2-year unified employment contract approved under Saudi regulations and processed through the Musaned platform.

Overview

Domestic Worker Visa Solutions for Every Stage

Applying for a maid visa or managing a domestic worker visa involves more than submitting an application. Different services follow different official procedures, documentation requirements, and approval stages depending on whether you are recruiting a new worker, renewing an existing residence permit, transferring sponsorship, or updating employment records through Musaned.

Which Visa Service Do You Need?

Many employers are unsure which service they actually need. In general:

  • A maid visa is required when recruiting a domestic worker from abroad.
  • Visa renewal for domestic helpers helps maintain legal residency after the current permit approaches expiry.
  • Sponsorship transfer applies when an eligible domestic worker is already employed inside Saudi Arabia.
  • Exit and re-entry services allow domestic workers to travel and return while maintaining valid legal status.
  • Contract renewal ensures employment records remain aligned with current Saudi domestic worker regulations.
