Ministry of Economic Development, on Thursday, extended the ban on bringing Bangladeshi labourers to Maldives for a period of one year, just as the restriction's September 18 deadline draws close.

Minister of Economic Development Fayyaz Ismail, in 2019, affixed a quota of 150,000 individuals as migrants per country, to be able to reside in the Maldives at any given time.

Since Bangladeshi immigrants already exceed this quota, at the present time, workers can only be brought from countries other than Bangladesh.
