To simplify residency and work procedures for expatriates, the Ministry of Interior has announced the removal of the previous conditions that restricted the transfer of residency between government and private sector employment.
With the new updates, expatriates can now transfer their residency from Article 17 (government sector employment) to Article 18 (private sector employment), and vice versa, without the previously required conditions. Unlike before, expatriates are no longer obligated to ensure their educational qualifications align with their new job roles or match the nature of their previous government sector position.
