Saudi Arabia shuts doors on illiterate workers RIYADH: The government of Saudi Arabia imposed ban on issuing visa to illiterate labour force.

Saudi Arabia has issued new laws for import of labour force under which the workers going to Saudi Arabia should be able to read and write in their own language.

Directives have been issued to recruitment agencies in this connection and they have been asked to work in the light of new laws. If the embassy considers it necessary then it may also conduct a test in this regard.
