The sources expect the annual insurance value to range between 500 and 600 dinars, in addition to 500 dinars residence renewal fee.

Sources told Al-Jarida “the minutes of the meeting during which the PAM board of directors headed by the minister approved the renewal for those who have reached 60 years of age, has not been approved until now, especially in light of the judicial rulings that were recently issued to stop the implementation of resolution (520/2020) banning the issuance of work permits for this category of expatriates.
