King Abdullah Bin grants Three months grace period for illegal workers

King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud grants Three months grace period for illegal workers.
Saudi Arabia, the King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud has announced a three months grace period for illegal workers to abide by regulations or face deportation.He has instructed the nation’s ministries of interior and labour to give a chance to the expatriate workers who violated the work and residency regulations to correct their status.

A statement issued to this effect also added that the law will be enforced against those who remain in violation following the end of the grace period.
Saudi authorities have launched a massive campaign to deport thousands of foreigners who overstayed their residence permits or worked illegally or did not have the legal documents to work or stay in the country.
The move is also a part of the nationwide campaign to labour market reforms and to give a boost to the employment of Saudi nationals under the Nitaqat system which makes it mandatory to have at least one Saudi national for every 10 foreigners.
According to last year’s estimates,Saudi Arabia has around 9 million expatriates out of the total population of 26 million in the country.
