Labor Ministry: 21 Days Separate Non-Jordanian Workers from the End of the Status Rectification Period in the Kingdom

Al-Taj News – The Ministry of Labor called on employers across various economic sectors and activities, as well as homeowners, to expedite the status rectification of non-Jordanian violating workers employed by them, before the first of December 2026, confirming that only 21 days remain until the end of the period granted for this purpose.

The Director of the Inspection Directorate at the Ministry of Labor, Engineer Haitham Al-Najdawi, said that the period for regularizing and reconciling the status of non-Jordanian labor, which was approved by the Cabinet, allows violators to benefit from financial facilities and exemptions before the expiration of the specified deadline.

He explained that a non-Jordanian worker who entered the Kingdom for purposes other than work and subsequently joined the labor market can pay a lump sum of 500 dinars for all previous years and obtain a work permit, while receiving a full exemption from fines from the Ministries of Labor and Interior.

He added that the exemptions also cover non-Jordanian workers, including domestic workers, by paying 50% of the work permit fee value for each previous year, along with a full exemption from fines from both ministries and the issuance of a new work permit.
