Changes to visa, employment rules in Saudi Arabia

The Saudi Government has decided to issue one-year visas for foreign employees, instead of the existing two year work permit, reports UNB. The country’s Labor and Social Development (MLSD) Minister, Dr Ali Al-Ghafis, issued the order recently in accordance with section 11 of the Saudi Labour Law. However, the order will not be applicable for the domestic workers and foreign workers at government agencies.
