Local Sources Announce Saudi Work Visas for Afghans.
Local sources in Afghanistan report that the Taliban are on the verge of a major agreement with Saudi Arabia to issue work visas.
Under this agreement, thousands of Afghan workers will soon be able to legally work in various economic sectors in Saudi Arabia, creating new income opportunities for themselves and their families.
Sources add that the visa issuance process will begin soon, enabling applicants to obtain official documents and permits for employment in Saudi Arabia. They view this initiative as a significant step toward enhancing economic cooperation between the two countries and opening legal regional labor market opportunities for Afghans.
Experts believe this opportunity could reduce unemployment pressure, increase foreign currency earnings, and strengthen Afghan workforce skills, while also facilitating the transfer of experience and expertise back to the country.
Economic specialists describe this plan as a “historic opportunity for Afghan workers.”
This agreement comes amid the Taliban’s strict and ethnically biased policies, which have created severe economic crises and limited employment options.
Observers contend that if restrictive policies are lifted and the plan is implemented, it could improve the lives of millions of Afghan families, increase national foreign currency revenue, and provide a safe, legal pathway out of unemployment and poverty.
