Kuwaiti labour authorities have halted transfer of commercial visit visas to work permits as a precaution against new wave of COVID-19, Al Rai has reported.

The move partially reverses a decision issued by the Kuwaiti Cabinet last month resuming the issuance of all types of entry visas to the country.

The step comes upon a recommendation from a ministerial committee in charge of tackling COVID-19 as part of a series of precautionary measures against a new wave of Coronavirus unfolding in the region and many European countries, the paper said, citing what it described as well-informed sources.

Starting from Tuesday, the Public Authority of Manpower (PAM) stopped issuing work permits for foreigners arriving in the country on commercial visit visas.

The sources said that related transactions earlier applied to PAM via its website will be completed.
