General context and importance of the passport sector
The General Directorate of Passports is one of the most important security and service sectors under the Ministry of Interior in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its role extends beyond simply issuing travel documents to include vital responsibilities related to the security of land, sea, and air ports of entry, managing residency records, and providing a wide range of electronic services to citizens, residents, and visitors. This decision comes within the framework of the Kingdom's ongoing efforts to modernize and develop its government agencies, ensuring the provision of high-quality services and enhancing the Kingdom's position as a global logistics hub and a leading tourist and religious destination.
The expected impact of promotions and their role in achieving Vision 2030
The significance of these promotions extends beyond their role as a moral and material incentive for the employees included in the decision. They are an integral part of a broader strategy aimed at achieving the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030. By recognizing and motivating talent, the Ministry of Interior seeks to raise the overall performance level and enhance productivity within the Passports Department. This decision is expected to positively impact the quality of services provided through platforms such as "Absher" and at border crossings, contributing to an improved customer experience and faster transaction processing. Furthermore, the inclusion of female employees in the promotions underscores the Kingdom's commitment to empowering Saudi women and strengthening their role in all fields, including sensitive security sectors.
