Four months before, the ministry took the decision to exempt firms or establishments for workers fees where the number of workers is four and the period is five years. Also, the condition of no more than nine employees implemented at that time. The ministry has canceled the decision of exemption for four workers, this is for remaining years. The new decision will exempt only two workers for 3 years or zi full-time workers with a Saudi Employee. 

Also. the lqama or residence permit not to be renewed for more than a year. If the request submitted to renew the iqama for the domestic workers exceeds a year period. it will not be accepted or renewed for a longer period. 

If the domestic worker's residence permit has been renewed more than a year ago, his request for transferring his services to a facility will not be accepted (because domestic workers are exempt from workers' fees), while the ministry will not provide the service for transferring the worker from a firm to an individual.
