Saudi Arabia: Bangladesh to Pay Workers $295 Subsidy to Cover Hotel Quarantine
The Bangladeshi government is to give its citizens flying to Saudi Arabia a subsidy of 25,000 Bangladeshi takas ($295) towards the cost of the mandatory hotel quarantine necessary to enter the Kingdom.
The Saudi Ministry of Interior said on May 10 all non-citizens arriving in Saudi Arabia who have not been vaccinated against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) must quarantine for a minimum of seven days.
Saudi Arabia reopened its borders to international flights May 17; Biman Bangladesh Airlines resumed flights to the Kingdom May 29.
