The work and residency permits for expatriates who reach the age of 60 with a high school certificate will not be renewed from January 1, as Kuwait is seeking to redress a demographic imbalance, Al-Anba reported.
The Public Authority of Manpower (PAM) is working on a mechanism for those covered by the ban to leave the country by making a final cancellation of visa according to the end of their residency period
The daily quoted a source “The departure decision takes effect as of the start of the New Year. The Manpower Authority will not renew the work permit and consequently, the work contract will end automatically.”
The deadline for those covered by the ban to leave Kuwait is set by the General Department of Residency Affairs from one to three months, according to the official.
