The campaign will also cover domestic workers who have failed to regularize their status in accordance with the provisions of the Labour Law and the Residence and Foreigners Affairs Law.

During a meeting with the director and staff of the Central Inspection Directorate, Doujan instructed officials to begin the inspection rounds on Thursday, October 8, 2026. The campaigns will be conducted regularly during both morning and evening periods.

He added that inspectors will be rotated among governorates, with each team carrying out its duties in a governorate other than its own. Inspection teams will also be equipped with body-worn cameras and iris-scanning devices to accurately identify and detect workers violating labour-market regulations.
