Kuwait Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) issued a decision to allow workers to transfer their work permits after one year instead of three years.
The Director General of PAM, Ahmed Al Mousa said in a statement the decision to transfer workers’ permits are permitted to employers that are listed in the Labour Department and is contingent on the worker completing one year since the date his work permit was issued.
The employer must approve the transfer of the work permit. The decision comes as Kuwait’s labour market is struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic and with an aim of facilitating easier movement for employees and employers.
