Saudi Arabia has announced a groundbreaking decision to provide a four-year exemption on government fees for expatriates displaced from neighboring countries. This move aims to facilitate their integration into the Kingdom and correct their status within the given timeframe.

In a significant session chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Council of Ministers in Jeddah unveiled this pivotal decision on Tuesday. Under this initiative, expatriates permitted to reside in Saudi Arabia will be relieved from various government fees for a period of four years from the date of their status correction upon arrival in the Kingdom.

The exemption encompasses a range of fees including residency permits (iqamas), work permits, transfer of service fees, profession change fees, and other charges levied by private sector entities. Additionally, the Saudi Government pledges to cover all associated costs for the affected individuals and their companions, encompassing fines incurred due to past violations of the Residency Law.

This comprehensive support package underscores Saudi Arabia's commitment to alleviating the challenges faced by displaced expatriates, facilitating their swift integration into society and the economy. By shouldering these financial burdens, the Kingdom demonstrates its dedication to aiding those in need, particularly amidst recent regional events.
