Labor Ministry urges employers to legalize foreign workers by Sept. 30

Amman, August 20 (Petra) – The Ministry of Labor called on employers
and homeowners across all economic sectors to regularize the status
of non-Jordanian workers, including domestic staff, before Sept. 30,
2026.

Ministry spokesperson Mohammad Zyoud announced that the grace period
will officially close at the end of next month.

Inspection teams across all governorates intensified field sweeps to
identify and deport undocumented workers, Zyoud noted.

Starting Oct. 1, 2026, the ministry will automatically issue
electronic deportation flags against any non-Jordanian worker whose
status remains unresolved.
