About the Project to Accept Foreigners Conducting Housekeeping Services

The Project to Accept Foreigners Conducting Housekeeping Services was launched to promote the increased participation of women in the workforce, as well as address an increasing need for domestic services. The program utilizes National Strategic Special Zones with a view to spurring mid to long-term economic growth. Housekeeping service operators must be certified by a third party management committee comprised of appropriate nationaI and local government bodies in order to participate in this program. Currently, six such services are certified by TMG.
