Close to 90,000 Indians have come back from Saudi Arabia in the grace period granted by the Kingdom for undocumented workers under its Nitaqat rules. About 4,66,689 Indian workers have renewed their Iqamas (resident permit) over the last five months of the grace period, 359,997 workers have transferred their sponsorships and 355,035 workers changed their job titles to legalise their status.
The four-month grace period, granted by King Abdulla bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in July, ends early next month. With just a few days left to rectify the Iqama status for expatriates in SaudiArabia, the Indian government has given assurance to the Saudi government that there would not be any illegal Indian worker after the November 3 deadline.
