Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) CEO Nouf Abdulrahman Jamsheer announced that the authority granted licenses to various accredited labour registration centers.

These accredited centers will register all workers as part of the Labour Registration Program’ following the adoption of a new set of labour market reforms that will replace Flexi Permits.

The Program will streamline registration processes in cooperation with the private sector and correct the legal status of workers to ensure their rights are protected.

LMRA services will be available to all workers to further enhance security.

Jamsheer added that the Authority has started conducting training workshops for the accredited centers.

She highlighted that the conducted workshops included detailed explanations of the centers’ roles and responsibilities in registering workers. 

These include receiving permit requests that are then referred to the Authority and verifying the availability of the required qualifications or professional certificates for professional work permit applications.

She added that the workshops also covered the process of data entry, methods of communication and follow-up with the LMRA regarding developments related to the worker, and clarification regarding the obligations of centers receiving workers applying for a permit.
