The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD) is studying the plan to allow the payment of expatriate’s levy and government fee (for iqama and work permit) on quarterly basis instead of the existing system of annual payment, Saudi Press Agency reported, citing Hani AlMojel, Deputy Minister for Labor Policies.

This will solve many problems, AlMojel said, while addressing the virtual session on “Improving the contractual relationship for private sector workers” organized by the Makkah Chamber of Commerce and Industry in cooperation with the Madinah and Taif chambers.
