No extensions for worker status fixes
The Jordanian Ministry of Labor announced that the deadline for regularizing the status of non-Jordanian violating workers, which began on June 15, 2026, and will end on September 30, 2026, will not be extended. Beginning October 1, 2026, measures for deportation will be implemented. The ministry clarified that there are currently over 321,000 valid work permits, most of which are in the sectors of Agriculture, Manufacturing Industries, and Construction. Despite the approaching deadline, the number of workers seeking to legalize their status remains moderate. The decision offers financial exemptions of up to 50% on permit fees and 100% on late fines, as well as full waivers from permit fees and fines for workers leaving the country permanently. This initiative aims to organize the labor market and regulate the influx of foreign workers. Starting in October, inspection campaigns will be carried out in collaboration with security agencies to apprehend those who fail to comply.
