A new residency law will be introduced that underlines that an expat can acquire a residency visa for up to 5 years and for an expat businessman with a valid project, it is for 10 years.<\/p>\n
Among the provisions of the law, a Kuwaiti female citizen must obtain a residency permit for her expat husband and children, provided that none of them work for a governmental or non-governmental entity and under a clause that the Kuwaiti woman did not obtain citizenship through her marriage to a Kuwaiti.<\/p>\n
In addition, the amount of time a domestic worker can reside outside the country is reduced to 4 months instead of 6 months. On the other hand, there is no decision as yet to halt the renewal of residency permits for Article 22 for parents including mother-in-law, which will continue until further notice. The Public Authority for Manpower is in the process of halting work permits for marginal workers and those over the age of 60.<\/p>\n
The law goes into effect as soon as it is published in the official gazette.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
