The Saudi government has extended the validity of visa and Iqama (valid work permit) for Bangladeshi expatriate workers till October 30.
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen confirmed this.
He said Bangladesh ambassador in Saudi Arabia Mohammad Javed Patwari informed him about the latest development.
Earlier on September 23 the foreign minister said Saudi Arabia has agreed to increase validity of visa and iqama of Bangladeshi stranded expatriate workers till October 17.
But many people have claimed that the duration of their visa and Iqama have yet to be extended instead they had to pay money to their employers to increase validity of Iqama.
