Visa ban to be extended for some sectors

The Ministry of Manpower has extended its visa ban on ban for companies working in construction and cleaning activities.
Ministerial Decision 200/2019 included a freeze on permits for expat workers in private sector institutions which engage in construction and cleaning work.
This ban will last for six months, and excludes some types of companies such as SMEs, or companies with more than 100 employees.
This decision has also cancelled out decision 338/2014, which froze expat work permits for this sector but included different exceptions.
