RESPITE EXPECTED SOON FOR THOSE AGED 60 AND ABOVE

  • 12/06/2021

Kuwait City: A major decision to settle the uncertainty regarding the renewal of residence permits for those above sixty years old is expected to be made by the government soon.


This decision will affect around 90,000 immigrants if the authorities decide not to renew the residence permits of expatriates aged 60 and over who only have high school diplomas and lower.
This has created a lot of uncertainty and anxiety within the immigrant community. Moreover, such a decision will create a major void in the job market and also will cause displacement of families, financial loss and loss of skilled workers.

However at this time of a global COVID-19 pandemic bringing in new rules and regulations have created a sense of discomfort for expatriates who are facing an uncertain future due to slow down in business and job loss, as well as the inability to relocate back home at this time.
