Council of Ministers updates on foreign labor
The Jordanian Cabinet has decided to extend the period for legalizing and regularizing the status of foreign workers until December 1, 2026, with the aim of regulating the labor market and controlling the presence of foreign workers in the kingdom. The decision includes all workers across various sectors, and exempts those exceeding the deadline or whose entries were not intended for work, while imposing a fee of 500 dinars for previous periods. It also stipulates the monitoring and deportation of those who have not regularized their statuses after January 1, 2027. Additionally, workers in the Aqaba Economic Zone will be exempt from late fees of 100% upon renewal of their permits. The goal of the decision is to ensure the legal presence of foreign labor and to achieve effective market regulation.
