I am currently in a position that is different from what is specified in the ID card or work permit, what should I do to update the job role information on the LMRA's Expat Management System?

We would like to inform you that you must review the issue of compliance with the profession described in the work permit with the employer so that he is not legally held accountable, as he can change the profession by an application submitted to the Authority pursuant to the provisions of Article (9) of Resolution No. (76) of 2008 regarding the regulation of work permits for foreigners other than the category of domestic employees and its amendments in order to avoid legal accountability during the visit of the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) inspectors to the facility, as the employer must in accordance with the provisions of item (1) of Article (7) of the aforementioned decision.

The employer shall be obliged to register and update the data of his establishment and the data of his employees continuously and regularly in the LMRA's database in accordance with the Authority's regulations in force in this regard or whenever requested to do so, in accordance with the provisions of Article (14) of the same decision referred to above.

In the event that the employer fails to comply with the above, it shall be considered a violation of the provisions of paragraph (b) of Article (23) of Law No. (19) of 2006 regarding the regulation of the labour market and its amendments, and also contrary to the provisions of the above-mentioned resolution.
