Online delivery is getting regulated: <\/strong>The Transport General Authority (TGA) is introducing new rules aimed at regulating online delivery across the Kingdom, according to a TGA statement<\/a> out yesterday. The rules show a gradual phaseout of self-employment for non-Saudis in online delivery services in the coming period. <\/p>\n

Ironing out details on the phaseout: <\/strong>The TGA will begin implementing the changes gradually by requiring non-Saudi drivers to work only through light transport firms within the next 14 months. Only nationals will be allowed to operate as self-employed couriers, according to the statement. <\/p>\n

And a uniform for non-Saudis: <\/strong>The rules will see the TGA implementing a uniform policy for non-Saudis working in delivery services.<\/p>\n

Facial recognition cometh: <\/strong>Companies working in the sector will be obliged to use a facial recognition system that is directly linked to the TGA\u2019s system. <\/p>\n

You can now display ads on light transport vehicles<\/strong>, provided that you get an approval from the TGA and the Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing Ministry, according to the statement. <\/p>\n

The rationale:<\/strong> The move aims to govern the online delivery sector and create job openings for nationals, the TGA said. <\/p>\n

Changes are coming in soon: <\/strong>The new rules will be implemented in early April, the statement said. <\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> The online delivery sector has been booming, with the online food ordering and delivery market valued at USD 2.3 bn, according to a report by TechSci<\/a> in December. The market is project to grow at a compound annual growth rate of c. 22% through 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
