Saudi Arabia issues 4,000 to 6,000 work visas daily for Bangladeshi workers

According to sources from Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia is presently awarding 4,000 to 6,000 work visas for Bangladeshis every day, and this rate is anticipated to continue in the days ahead.

The Kingdom had the largest monthly recruitment number of any nation in the world last month, hiring 83,000 workers from Bangladesh. As Saudi Arabia speeds up its ambitious development projects under its Vision 2030 plan, there is a rise in demand for manpower.

The Kingdom is preparing for several high-profile events, including the 2034 FIFA World Cup and the 2030 Riyadh Expo, alongside massive infrastructure projects in aviation, railways, and sports stadiums. These initiatives have created an increased need for a diverse labor force to support the country’s rapid expansion.

In a gesture of goodwill, Saudi Arabia recently donated 372 tonnes of meat to Bangladesh. According to a Bangladeshi Foreign Ministry official, the meat will be distributed to orphans, religious schools, and those in need across 95 regions in 64 districts.
