Saudi Arabia has warned employers of illegal migrants they would be jailed for up to six months, fined SR100,000 (Dh100,000) and deported if they are expatriates.

Employers who repeat the offence will also be defamed in newspapers and social networks and banned from recruiting foreign labour.

“Those who employ illegal expatriate workers, mainly housemaids, provide homes or help them in any way will be jailed up to six months and fined SR100,000.

“In case they are expatriates, they will be deported from the Kingdom,” the Saudi Interior Ministry said in a statement, carried by ‘Sabq’ and other newspapers.
