310K foreign workers hold valid permits, says minister – Roya News English

About 310,064 foreign workers hold valid work permits as of Sept. 2, said Yousef Shamali, the Minister of Labor.

The minister revealed that a total of 112,079 foreign laborers came forward and remedied their status between July 4, 2021 and Sept. 2, 2021, the period set by the government for illegal workers to correct their status.

The minister made the remarks during a Cabinet meeting on Sunday. On June 23, the government set a three-month moratorium for expats and employers to remedy their employment status.
