Government Sets Phased Deadlines to End Foreign Worker Quotas in Reserved Jobs
The Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology has gazetted new rules setting phased deadlines of two to five years to cancel foreign worker quotas in occupations to be reserved for Maldivians, with some roles receiving no new quotas immediately. The move follows a cabinet decision of 24 December 2023, and the article notes that many such jobs remain dominated by foreign workers despite a rule requiring resorts to employ at least 40 percent Maldivian staff.
