53 days left to rectify status of undocumented workers: Labor Ministry

08-08-2026 11:54 AM


Ammon News - Ministry of Labor urged employers in all sectors and economic activities and homeowners to seize the remaining period for regularizing the legal status of undocumented non-Jordanian workers of all nationalities, which ends on September 30.

In a statement Saturday, the ministry spokesperson Mohammad Zyoud said only 53 days are left of the regularization period approved by the Cabinet last June.

Zyoud ruled out extension to this grace period, adding that the financial exemptions will remain unchanged as approved in the Cabinet decision.

On its future policy, he affirmed the ministry will intensify inspection visits across various sectors and economic activities in all governorates to identify and deport undocumented non-Jordanian workers.

As for its scope, he noted that the Cabinet decision featured financial exemptions to ease the burden on employers and homeowners.

As a privilige, he stated the gov't move also allowed employers to benefit from existing non-Jordanian workers in the Kingdom's labor market by permitting their transfer in most of the country's sectors.
