  "summary": "Saudi Arabia has announced a two-month campaign, starting on October 11, 2026, to regularize the status of Yemeni nationals residing illegally in the Kingdom. The initiative, announced by the Ministry of Interior following a request from Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad Al-Alimi, aims to address the status of these residents across all regions of the country. The General Directorate of Passports will implement the campaign, which will involve granting free six-month visit visas to those without Yemeni documents, extending visas for those with expired ones, and facilitating the transfer of services for workers reported absent from work.",
