Wednesday, June 26, 2024

The Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousuf Al-Sabah on Tuesday assigned the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) to prepare a draft law to temporarily lift the ban on transferring domestic help visas (visa 20) to work visas in the private sector (visa 18).

As per report, the ban on transferring from article 20 to article 18 would be lifted for two months in order to meet the requirements of the labor market under specific guidelines that maintain balance in supply and demand.
