The government of Saudi Arabia has launched a significant initiative for expatriate workers. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) has granted a 60-day grace period, from December 1 to January 29, allowing workers to correct their status and transfer their sponsorship.
According to an Aaj TV report, the MHRSD has provided the ‘Qiwa’ platform for absentee workers to readjust their status and transfer their sponsorship to a new employer. The MHRSD has also sent a text message to all expatriate workers, aiming to legalize their job status and provide new employment opportunities.

Later, the employer will confirm the request and the worker will get the certificate.
