90-Day Amnesty For Illegal Workers In Saudi Arabia Starts. Read To See If You Are Qualified

The Saudi Arabian government has begun implementing the “A Nation Without Illegal Expatriates” national campaign, a program launched through the General Directorate for Passports of the Ministry for Interior. Starting yesterday, 29th of March, undocumented workers in Saudi Arabia can go to their city branch of the Passport Department, locally known as "Jawazat," to finalize their departure procedures. A special section has been designated for amnesty seekers at the General Services Center that will implement the 90-day campaign, which will include all provinces. The initiative was granted by the Interior Ministry for undocumented workers to correct their status and leave the country without risk of detention or penalty. Beneficiaries of the 90-day grace period include: over-stayers who came to the Kingdom for a Haj or Umrah visit or transit residents with expired iqamas before March 29 pilgrims without Haj permits workers with a work permit but no iqama ID or residence card before March 29 infiltrators into the Kingdom’s territory runaway workers (huroob) who have a regular residence permit or iqama ID workers who want to take advantage of the grace period but do not know their employer According to Lt. Col. Talal Al-Shalhoub, spokesman of the General Directorate of Passports (GDP), overstayers caught after the 90-day grace period will risk paying fines. “Violators who don’t initiate correcting their status and get detained will be subject to enforcing the rules and regulations of the labor law and residency system.” To take advantage of the campaign, the violating expatriate must leave the country before the 90-day deadline is over. Penalties for violating the residency system includes a prison sentence and fines that can range from SR15,000 to SR100,000, plus deportation after serving prison sentence. Immigration officials also said that this amnesty may be the last opportunity for illegals to gain amnesty since the objective of the campaign is to rid the country of illegal residents completely. A similar campaign took place in 2013 to legalize the status of undocumented workers. A 90-day amnesty was announced in April 2013 before the late King Abdullah extended the grace period to November 2013. More than 2.5 million violators left the country under that campaign. According to the campaign, workers can return to the Kingdom on condition they pursue legal methods to gain entry.

Deputy Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia meeting with US President Donald Trump Recommended: Why OFWs Remain in Neck-deep Debts After Years Of Working Abroad? From beginning to the end, the real life of OFWs are colorful indeed. To work outside the country, they invest too much, spend a lot. They start making loans for the processing of their needed documents to work abroad. From application until they can actually leave the country, they spend big sum of money for it. But after they were being able to finally work abroad, the story did not just end there. More often than not, the big sum of cash they used to pay the recruitment agency fees cause them to suffer from indebtedness. They were being charged and burdened with too much fees, which are not even compliant with the law. Because of their eagerness to work overseas, they immerse themselves to high interest loans for the sake of working abroad. The recruitment agencies play a big role why the OFWs are suffering from neck-deep debts. Even some licensed agencies, they freely exploit the vulnerability of the OFWs. Due to their greed to collect more cash from every OFWs that they deploy, it results to making the life of OFWs more miserable by burying them in debts. The result of high fees collected by the agencies can even last even the OFWs have been deployed abroad. Some employers deduct it to their salaries for a number of months, leaving the OFWs broke when their much awaited salary comes. But it doesn't end there. Some of these agencies conspire with their counterpart agencies to urge the foreign employers to cut the salary of the poor OFWs in their favor. That is of course, beyond the expectation of the OFWs. Even before they leave, the promised salary is already computed and allocated. They have already planned how much they are going to send to their family back home. If the employer would cut the amount of the salary they are expecting to receive, the planned remittance will surely suffer, it includes the loans that they promised to be paid immediately on time when they finally work abroad. There is such a situation that their family in the Philippines carry the burden of paying for these loans made by the OFW. For example. An OFW father that has found a mistress, which is a fellow OFW, who turned his back to his family and to his obligations to pay his loans made for the recruitment fees. The result, the poor family back home, aside from not receiving any remittance, they will be the ones who are obliged to pay the loans made by the OFW, adding weight to the emotional burden they already had aside from their daily needs.
