Ammon News - The Ministry of Labor announced that it will deport any non-Jordanian student caught working in violation of the Labor Law under any circumstances, starting April 1, 2025.

Mohammad Zyoud, ministry's spokesperson, said that coordination has been made with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research to address all public and private universities and community colleges to inform non-Jordanian students that their employment in the labor market constitutes a clear violation of the provisions of Jordanian labor law.

Zyoud explained that the ministry, through a joint inspection campaign with the Ministry of Interior and the Public Security Directorate, has arrested numerous university students of both genders and various nationalities since the beginning of the year, stressing that anyone entering the Kingdom for university studies must adhere to their studies and is prohibited from entering the labor market.

Any employer who employs a non-Jordanian student, whether at a public or private university or community college, will be subject to a fine of no less than JD800 dinars for each student found working for him, he pointed out.

Also, Zyoud noted that the Ministry is continuing its inspection campaign to control non-Jordanian workers who violate the provisions of the Labor Law.
