Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has announced an extension for expatriate workers facing work permit issues. The ministry said the deadline to regularize their status has been extended until the end of the current year, according to a report published on Tuesday by Gulf News.
The decision applies to expatriates whose work permits expired more than a year ago or who have not received a permit within six months of joining a company. The ministry stated that the move aims to ensure strict enforcement of labor laws, protect the rights of all contractual parties, and allow both employers and employees additional time to complete necessary legal and regulatory procedures.
Authorities have warned that failure to issue or renew work permits within the extended period will result in strict legal action. Additionally, the government has limited the number of immediate work visas available to new companies to a maximum of five.
