Kuwait City: Local newspaper reports that the General Secretariat of the Cabinet of Human Resources has instructed the authorities to increase the work permit (Idn Amal) fees in Kuwait from next year. In addition to finding non-oil revenues, the decision is aimed at resolving labor market imbalances. The Human Resources Committee has been asked to implement this in the second quarter of next year. 


In addition, the Cabinet Secretariat has proposed to increase the visa fee for foreign workers and to amend the work permit system to eliminate the visa trade. However, the fee increase is not clear. At present, the fee for renewal of a work permit is 10 dinars per annum.
