Authorities are studying a proposal to cancel the visa of expatriate if the employer complaints about the employee overstaying his designated annual leave period outside Kuwait. According to Kuwait Times report, the proposal allows employers to lodge complains against employees who extend their leaves abroad without valid excuse. If the worker is found to be ‘absconder,’ he or she would have their visa terminated.
Under the current law, a residency visa is automatically cancelled if its holder stays outside Kuwait for six months or more.
