The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia deported 7,989 people between June 4 and June 10.
This step was taken following a series of joint inspections carried out by security forces and government agencies across the Kingdom.
According to the Ministry of Interior, all deported individuals were undocumented.
In addition, more than 10,700 people were arrested during the same period for alleged violations of residency, labour, and border security regulations.
Those detained included 5,899 residency violators, 3,084 border security offenders, and 1,742 people accused of breaching labour laws.
Saudi authorities said 14,268 individuals had been referred to their diplomatic missions to obtain travel documents, while 1,240 others were completing procedures related to travel arrangements ahead of deportation.
More than 22,000 expats are currently undergoing legal procedures linked to immigration and labour violations, according to official figures.
The crackdown is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to regulate its labour market and enforce residency laws.
Authorities warned that individuals found assisting undocumented migrants could face prison sentences of up to 15 years and fines of up to SR1 million ($266,000), in addition to the confiscation of vehicles or properties used in the offences.
The ministry urged the public to report any cases of violation by calling the number 911 in the regions of Makkah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province and the numbers 999 and 996 in the rest of the Kingdom’s regions.
