The visas are one of many attempts to squeeze money out to help them overcome their huge deficits due to the low oil prices. If they put as much thought and effort to root out corruption and waste, they would have much better results.
For expats, perhaps they could afford it.... But its all about proportionality. We are not talking about 10-20% increases.
