  "account": "Saudi Arabia's Musaned platform has explained the electronic service fee for processing domestic worker visa issuance requests through its official X account. The platform disclosed that the fee for accepting such visa issuance requests is 150 riyals (SAR), excluding VAT, for each approved application. Musaned added that if a visa application is rejected, applicants can either use the remaining balance or request a refund for the previously made payment. The platform further outlined the available payment methods for settling these visa fees, specifying the approved channels based on the type of visa and the contract procedures. According to Musaned's X account, for a new, previously unissued visa contract, payment can be made using Visa or MasterCard. For contracts involving visas that have been issued through Musaned before, additional payment options are also available, including SADAD and Mada, along with Visa and MasterCard.",
