| '''Indians in Saudi Arabia''' are the largest community of [[Foreign workers in Saudi Arabia|expatriates in Saudi Arabia]]. India and Saudi Arabia signed an agreement to manage and organize the recruitment of domestic workers in January 2014. Between then and April 2016, 500,000 Indians moved to Saudi Arabia for employment. The agreement includes a provision which stipulates that sponsors must pay a guarantee of US $2,500 for each Indian worker they recruit.<ref name="ArabNews1">{{cite web|title=500K Indian workers arrive in 16 months|url=http://www.arabnews.com/saudi-arabia/news/742886|website=Arab News|date=6 May 2015|access-date=28 April 2016}}</ref>
