The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD) confirmed that the Cabinet decided that Saudi citizens having more than four domestic workers will pay annual fees of SAR 9,600 on each additional worker. 

 

The same rule applies to an expat who has more than two domestic workers. 

 

However, the decision excludes people who require more than the allowed number of domestic workers in medical care and persons with disabilities cases as per the terms and conditions set by the relevant committee. 

 

The decision will be applied in two phases; the first will start as of May 22, 2022, while the second will be as of May 11, 2023 for the new domestic workers, the ministry indicated.
