Kuwaiti government has been asked to renew residency permits of expatriate engineering employees for three months to allow them to readjust their status without facing deportation, according to Al Rai newspaper.
The call has been launched by the Federation of Kuwaiti Engineering Offices and Consultant Houses. They stated that disruptions caused by COVID-19 have affected its affiliates’ work.
The federation’s head Badr Al Salman said,“This extension for a limited period will allow us to modify the status of our labour and spare them deportation if they cannot meet the deadline for renewing their residency permits before a ministerial deadline at the end of November”.
He has sent appeals to the ministers of the interior and social affairs calling for issuing instructions to extend residency permits of engineering offices’ foreign employees.
He added that the residency extension will strongly contribute to heading off delaying many government projects being supervised and implemented by the engineering offices.
