Single, but not 24? Can't hire foreign domestic help in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia has introduced stricter regulations for issuing visas for the recruitment of domestic workers from abroad. The Musaned platform, under the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD), has specified that the minimum age for a single employer to obtain a visa for domestic workers must be 24 years. The regulations for granting visas to recruit domestic workers and their equivalents apply to various categories of individuals, including Saudis, citizens of Gulf Cooperation Council states, members of displaced tribes, the wives and mothers of citizens, and holders of premium residency. These individuals are permitted to issue domestic worker visas based on their financial capacity. As per the financial capacity rules, for the issuance of the first visa, specifying the salary is sufficient, and the bank document’s balance for visa issuance should be SR40000. In the case of issuing a second visa, the minimum salary required is SR7000, with a bank document balance of SR60000. To issue a third visa, a minimum salary of SR25000 is required, along with a bank account balance of SR200000, according to the Saudi Gazette.
