Saudi Arabia urges expatriates to renew work permits.
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has
urged expatriate workers, including Bangladeshis, to complete the issuance or renewal of their work
permits (Rukhsa Amal) within the stipulated timeframe.
According to a notice shared by the Bangladesh Embassy in Riyadh, workers whose permits expired more
than 12 months ago, as well as those who entered Saudi Arabia or changed employers but have not
obtained work permits within six months, must complete the process by the end of 2026.
The ministry said the measure aims to ensure compliance with labour laws and protect the rights of
both employers and workers.
It warned that legal action would be taken against those who fail to comply before the deadline.
The Bangladesh Embassy also urged Bangladeshi expatriates to complete the required procedures in
time.
