The conditions include the applicant shall be a Saudi citizen who is not a government employee. Those who have a commercial registration are also not qualified to apply for this job.
The applicants need to register their names through the National Labor Gatetway (TAQAT), the self-employment portal under HADAF, by filling up a self-employment document.
