Expats working on self-employed terms in Saudi Arabia must follow the Kingdom’s residency, labour, and border laws strictly. Authorities warn that breaking these rules can lead to harsh penalties. Violators risk a fine up to 50,000 riyals, imprisonment for up to six months, and deportation. On January 12, the Saudi Ministry of Interior posted a video on X reminding everyone about these laws and the serious consequences of disobedience. It outlined the duties of self-employed expats and explained how to report any rule-breaking safely. People can report violations by calling 911 in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province or 999 in other regions of Saudi Arabia. The Ministry assured that all reports are confidential, and those who report will not face legal issues. These actions are part of Saudi Arabia’s wider effort to protect labour systems, ensure lawful residency, and maintain public order.
