The Ministry of Labour in Jordan called yesterday on all Syrian workers who do not have work permits or who have not renewed them to proceed with the procedures to obtain a permit to legalize their employment in the kingdom.
“Syrian workers have been exempt from the work permit and health certificate fees since 2016 under cabinet decisions, the latest of which was issued early this year,” the ministry said in a statement.
