Thousands of workers in Saudi Arabia work illegally under the so-called “free visa” arrangement, with Saudis posing as sponsoring employers and importing workers to staff businesses that do not exist.

According to the Saudi Gazette, these illegal sponsors charge workers thousands of dollars in annual and monthly fees.
