Visa transfer suspension confuses work departments


The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor’s assistant undersecretary for labor sector affairs, Jamal Al-Doussari, stressed that various departments were still receiving applications for transfer of commercial visas into work permits. He added that all such transactions that he received recently would be categorized and referred to relevant departments.

Further, Al-Doussari stressed that, according to the instructions of MSAL undersecretary, Abdul Mohsen Al-Muttairi, visa transfer applications would be received till the beginning of April.

Notably, Al-Doussari’s office recently witnessed unprecedented crowds of applicants and company representatives wishing to finalize their visa transfer transactions. “What can we do with the labor that has already arrived in Kuwait on commercial visit visas if we cannot transfer their visas into work permits,” they wondered, noting that clerks were so poorly informed about the process that their understanding was often either confused or contradictory.
