Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Advancement (MHRSD) announced the implementation of Saudization in many professions in accordance with Article 36 of the Saudi Labor Law. The Ministry of Labor has reserved more than 100 Iqama professions jobs for Saudi nationality, meaning there will be no more expatriate Iqama renewals for those professions.

As there are no iqama renewals for expats in mentioned professions, they will either need to change their profession on their iqama or quit their employment.
