Moves To Limit The Number Of Expat Marginal Workers In Kuwait - Kuwait Ministry

16 February 2016 Kuwait

Kuwait Ministry will shortly issue a number of decisions that would greatly limit the number of expatriate marginal workers in the country, said Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Hind Al-Subaih. These decisions will be linked to the mechanism of recruiting foreign laborers from abroad and the duration of their stay in the country, the minister said.

A decision will be issued to ban residency transfers from cooperatives, and transfers will be limited to other cooperatives just like the agriculture, fishing, shepherding and industry sectors. 

“We will continue to organize the labor market and limit the influx of marginal labor and concentrate on trained technical labor,” Minister said. Inspection campaigns will continue in order to arrest violating workers in cooperation with the interior ministry. Deportation is for violating the labor law, and we are keen on giving them all their rights, Minister added.
