“Saudi Arabia Imposes Ban on All Work Visas for Pakistanis”

“Saudi Arabia has officially imposed a ban on the issuance of all types of work visas for Pakistani nationals, affecting a wide range of employment sectors. The decision includes suspensions for both skilled professionals and manual laborers, as well as domestic workers. This unexpected move by the Saudi government has sent shockwaves through the migrant worker community in Pakistan, as Saudi Arabia has traditionally been one of the largest destinations for Pakistani expatriates seeking employment opportunities abroad.

The reasons behind the ban remain unclear, though sources suggest it may be part of broader efforts by Saudi Arabia to overhaul its labor market and reduce reliance on foreign workers. The Kingdom is also undergoing significant economic and social reforms under its Vision 2030 plan, which could include measures to favor local talent and control the influx of foreign nationals into the workforce.

The impact of this decision is expected to be substantial, as millions of Pakistanis have worked in Saudi Arabia for decades, sending remittances back to their families. With the halt on work visas, many Pakistanis who were in the process of applying for new employment or renewing existing visas may face significant setbacks.

The Pakistani government has expressed its concerns over the ban, particularly regarding the economic consequences for families who rely on income sent from Saudi Arabia. In response, Pakistani officials are reportedly in talks with their Saudi counterparts to discuss the reasons for the decision and to seek a resolution.

This development has also sparked discussions about the future of the Pakistani workforce in the Gulf region, with many looking for alternative employment options in neighboring countries where demand for labor remains high.”
