Automatic renewal of residence permit for expatriates
Director-General of the General Department of Residence Affairs, Major-General Talal Ma’arafi said the department is considering automatic renewal of residence permit for expatriates, reports Al-Rai daily.
The department is reportedly looking at offers submitted by several companies to run the project. Ma’arafi said the project aims to translate the directives of the State to develop work mechanisms based on e-government. He added, the project will allow those on dependence residence who have reached the age of 21 to get a work permit provided the applicant meets the conditions.
He pointed out the renewal of the residence permits of expatriates will be automated through the Ministry of Interior website. However, the search is underway to find an alternative to the residence sticker. While the department is sifting through the offers submitted by certain parties, sources say, it will be a qualitative shift in the work of the Ministry of Interior.
