Saudi Arabia hires record 83,000 Bangladeshis in a month

Middle East country Saudi Arabia is currently issuing between 4,000 and 6,000 work visas daily for Bangladeshis, and this rate is expected to continue in the coming days.

Last month, the Kingdom employed 83,000 workers from Bangladesh, making it the highest monthly recruitment figure for any country globally. This surge in labour demand comes as Saudi Arabia accelerates its ambitious development projects under its Vision 2030 plan, Gulf News reported.

Saudi Arabia 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.
