RIYADH: Saudi Arabia Wednesday said it would stop granting work permits to domestic

workers from Indonesia and the Philippines, following hiring conditions imposed by the Asian

countries.

The Ministry of Labor said it would “stop issuing work visas to bring domestic workers from

Indonesia and the Philippines, effective from Saturday (July 2)” due to “the terms of recruitment

announced by the two countries.”

“The ministry’s decision coincides with its great efforts to open new channels to bring domestic

workers from other sources,” ministry spokesman Hattab Bin Saleh Al-Enezi, said.
