Qiwa Sets Maximum Worker Limits by Nationality in Saudi Arabia

In a major move to support local employment, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has introduced new limits on the number of foreign workers from specific nationalities in private sector companies through the Qiwa platform. These restrictions apply to workers from India, Bangladesh, Yemen, and Ethiopia. The idea behind this step is to create more room for Saudi nationals in the job market and ensure fair opportunities for all. By carefully managing the percentage of foreign workers in companies, the Kingdom is working to strike a balance between meeting labor demands and empowering its citizens. This initiative is part of the ongoing Saudization efforts, which aim to reduce dependency on foreign labor and open doors for Saudi talent across different industries. In the long run, these measures are expected to fuel job growth, strengthen the local workforce, and support the Kingdom’s vision for a more diverse and sustainable economy.

Arabic Learning Notes for Begginners

Leave a Comment / Life in Saudi Arabia / Yasir Imran

Arabic is national language in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, It is really helpful to know it before arriving in Saudi Arabia or UAE, either you are on visitor visa, work visa or for the purpose of Umrah or Hajj. I am sharing here my notes which I have prepared in early days when I arrived here in Saudi Arabia. I keep sharing these notes with my friends and colleagues who were new here and trying to learn basics of Arabic. These notes are prepared on language spoken in streets and in common daily life, they have nothing to do with Arabic Translation or Advance understanding.

I tried to make sure that these notes help you when you walk on the street, you are visiting a local market, you are trying to hire a taxi or visit a restaurant and order food from there, or you are in an office for your interview, you can speak good english, however some non formal words you can speak and understand with regular office people.

You can download this PDF file from here, either print it or save in your mobile phone for revision of basic arabic words. Feel free to ask me any questions or difficulties you face.
