Jordan Deports 1026 Illegal Workers
The article discusses Jordan's measures to combat illegal non-Jordanian labor. A decision was issued to deport 1,026 undocumented workers between January and June 2026, which included the cancellation of 155 deportation orders and the regularization of 89 others in exchange for paying fees. This effort is part of a comprehensive inspection and audit campaign aimed at regulating the labor market, providing a 32-day grace period for workers and employers to rectify their situations before deportation procedures are enforced. These procedures include marking the records of violators with a "Deported" status in the systems, and imposing fines of up to 800 dinars for each undocumented worker. Non-Jordanian workers were also given the opportunity to regularize their status through procedures that included fee reductions and fines, with a prohibition on renewal for those who did not rectify their status after the legalization period, which concludes on September 30, 2026. The government emphasizes organizing the labor market and ensuring compliance by employers and workers with laws, while intensifying deportation measures against violators to ensure transparency and fairness in the Jordanian labor market.
