DHAKA, June 30, 2026 (BSS) - 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.
