List of 34 Jobs OFWs Cannot Apply For in Saudi Arabia This 2018



For a decade, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the top destination of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and other expatriate workers around the world.    This 2018 the Kingdom is imposing major economic overhaul to reduce its dependence on oil revenues. Hence, five percent of Value Added Tax (VAT) is implemented that greatly affects expat workers together with the OFWs.    Nowadays, VAT is not only affecting OFWs in Saudi Arabia, but they are also affected by the Saudization where foreign workers are no longer accepted in certain jobs or professions that are now reserved for Saudi citizen only. It is reported that by the end of 2018 many sectors will be fully Saudized under the campaign to replace at least 30,000 expats in Tourism, retail stores, and shopping malls.
