He added that work permits cannot be issued without first obtaining the security card from the Ministry of Interior.

Regarding first-time work permits for Syrians who entered Jordan before October 1, 2026, Al-Zyoud explained that workers can pay JD 500 to cover the entire previous period and then obtain a new work permit subject to the applicable new fees.
