Tips that save you a trip
- Have the office or site open and staffed for the Taqyeem visit, with the licence and tenancy contract at hand.
- Request professions that exist in your licence activity, otherwise the quota is refused.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- Work volume does not justify the number of workers requested.
- Premises not found or not matching the licence at the Taqyeem visit.
- Establishment file restricted for violations.
Questions and answers
How many workers can I get?
MOHRE does not publish a fixed number; it depends on the evaluated work volume and the committee's decision.
