Saudi Arabia to Ease Restrictions on Foreign Workers
Saudi Arabia said Wednesday it will ease key restrictions on millions of foreign workers, as part of plans to reform its long-criticised labour policy.
The ministry of human resources and social development said that from March, expatriates will no longer need their employers' permission to change jobs, travel or leave Saudi Arabia -- home to some 10 million foreigners.
