Work permit regularization deadline extended to December 1
The Ministry of Labor has extended the deadline for regularizing the status of non-Jordanian workers until December 1, 2026. This extension follows an evaluation of the previous legalization period, which lasted four months, with the aim of regulating the labor market and alleviating financial burdens on employers. The Ministry confirmed that no further extensions will be granted after this date. The decision covers all sectors, including domestic workers, and offers facilitation measures such as paying 50% of the permit fees for previous years and waiving fines. It also allows legal residency for workers who entered the kingdom for non-work purposes and settled there, through full payment of fees for all previous periods. The extension aims to expand the worker database and transition them from the informal market to the official one, including access to social security benefits.
