A very common problem that Saudi residents face, especially those who come to KSA for the first time and get a job in a small company (having less than 9 employees), is getting huroob status without any reason.

Furthermore, those workers who are absent from their jobs for a long time without any solid reason can also face huroob status on their iqama.

Moreover, you can also use Absher website apart from the MOL portal.

Check Huroob Status For Domestic Workers

We have observed that people who are domestic workers ( house drivers, maids, housekeepers, saiq khas), have more chances of getting huroob. Because it is in the hands of the kafeels or sponsors to report them as “Absent” with or without any solid reason.

However, after the implementation of the new kafala system, the role of kafeel is no longer in force. So the chances of iqama huroob have decreased significantly.

Now the sponsor can’t report absenteeism if the iqama of the domestic worker has expired. Furthermore, such workers can now transfer sponsorship with ease.

In addition to that, the domestic worker can transfer sponsorship to other employer through Qiwa portal.

Because these professions don’t fall under the Ministry of Labor’s nitaqat system. Therefore, their huroob status is not available on MOL platform. The domestic workers will get this message.

However, house drivers (saiq khas) can check their huroob status by using any of the method as explained above.

All other domestic workers have to visit Jawazat or Labor office known as maktab amal.
