KSA extends visa for Bangladeshi expatriate workers until Oct 30

The Saudi government has extended visa for Bangladeshi expatriate workers until October 30.

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen confirmed it on Wednesday.

The Bangladeshi workers who got stuck here have already started to return to their workplaces in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

The Saudi government has so far extended the validity of Iqama and visa validity for Bangladesh citizens several times at the request of Bangladesh.

Bangladeshi workers got stuck here due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The oil-rich kingdom is the most popular destination for migrant workers from Bangladesh.
Last year, Bangladeshi migrants sent back US$18.355 billion.

Of the amount, $3.647 billion (19.87 percent) were sent from Saudi Arabia.
