As part of its ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐๐ reforms,
Saudi Arabia has officially ๐๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ,
replacing it with a ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฒ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค that
empowers migrant workers and aligns with global labor standards.
Key Changes
- Job Mobility:
Workers can change employers without sponsor approval after contract
completion or under specific conditions (e.g., wage delays).
- Freedom of Movement:
No more exit/re-entry permits from sponsors — workers can travel freely.
- Digital Contracts:
Employment relationships are now governed by formal contracts, often
managed via platforms like Qiwa.
- Legal Access:
Expanded access to labor courts and complaint mechanisms ensures better
protection against abuse.
Why It Matters
This reform affects millions
of foreign workers and marks a major step toward transparency,
competitiveness, and human rights compliance in the region. It also
sets a precedent for neighboring Gulf countries to revisit their own labor
frameworks.
