Please advise the age of retirement for an expat working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Earlier it as 60 and later if I am not mistaken is 65. Appreciate if anybody could confirm it. Thanks

As far as I know, the retirement age is 60 for men. For women, it used to be 55 and then was changed to 60 in 2019. This applies to all, whether expats or Saudis.

Is that with Saudi companies or private companies?

Irrespective of company type - this is labor law which applies to all. Company can keep you after retirement age but it costs them more, requires approval and is a negative impact on Saudization (you are counted as 2 expats instead of 1 post retirement age).

@XTang Salam brother! I hope you don't mind me to ask.i filed a case to my employer due to the violation of contract and some ARTICLES to SLL .My hearing to moj video call is coming. I filed a case through Philippines overseas labour office but since there's lot of complainants the case will take time unless the plaintiffs has a local lawyer so I don't know if you have idea about hiring attorney/lawyer and how much does it worth this kind of case. I I'm looking forward to your reply sir. Thank you
