Collections of fees for expat work licenses delayed: Al-Madina

Saudi Arabia's labor and social development ministry has postponed issuing the collective invoice for expatriate work license fees to Jan. 29 from Jan. 15, 2018, Al-Madina newspaper reported on Saturday.

The Kingdom had earlier unveiled new rules for expatriate work licenses and levy, which will be collected annually upon issuing or renewing work permits, Argaam reported.

Starting 2018, companies, where expats outnumber Saudis, are required to pay a monthly levy of SAR 400 per expat worker, which will be gradually increased by SAR 200 annually to SAR 800 in 2020.
