Saudi Arabia extended Amnesty Period for Illegal Foreign Workers

The amnesty or grace period has been extended on the order of King Abdullah till 4 November 2013 which was due to expire on 3 July 2013.

Saudi Arabia had announced an amnesty on 3 April 2013 granting foreign workers a three-month grace period to regularise their residency or leave Saudi Arabia to avoid being jailed, fined or placed on a blacklist. The extension was highly welcomed by the embassies of Asian countries as most of the Country hails from these countries.
