The Ministry of Interior has announced the addition of four new categories eligible to obtain visas for domestic workers and drivers through the unified government electronic services application “Sahl”, as part of ongoing efforts to streamline and expand digital government services.

In a press statement, the ministry said the newly launched service enables the electronic issuance of visas for domestic workers and drivers according to clearly defined eligibility categories.

These include a single female, who is entitled to one driver and one domestic worker; a single male, eligible for one driver only; a divorced or widowed woman with children, eligible for one driver and one domestic worker; and married, divorced, or widowed males, who are entitled to one driver and up to three domestic workers.

The ministry emphasized that the initiative reflects its commitment to enhancing digital transformation and simplifying procedures for citizens and residents through the “Sahl” platform, reducing the need for in-person transactions and improving service efficiency.
