Deadline of 17 days to fix worker status before deportation
The Ministry of Labor in Jordan announced that there are 17 working days remaining to rectify the status of undocumented foreign workers, with the deadline ending on September 30, 2026. Labor offices will allow, until the end of September, extensions of working hours until 5 PM to facilitate the correction process, along with a 50% exemption on permit fees for each previous year and complete exemption from fines. Workers are also permitted to transition between sectors during the correction period. Starting October 2026, a "Deportation" mark will be placed on the records of workers who have not regularized their status, and a five-year entry ban to Jordan will be imposed on violators. However, they will have the option to leave the country before the deadline without incurring any fees.
