Contract signed to implement online renewal of residencies

General Department for Residency Affairs signed a contract with an information technology company to launch the process of electronic renewal of residencies, reports Al-Anba daily.

According to report, the electronic renewal system will include residencies of articles 17, 18, 20 and 22, and both public and private sectors.

The report affirmed that companies will also be included in the system for electronic renewal of residencies, such that an employer will be able to renew the article 18 residencies of his employees without the need for his company representative (mandoub) to physically visit the offices.

The project will be launched soon and Ministry of Interior will declare the mechanism after conducting an accurate study concerning the matter.
