[Kuwait] Multiple-trip exit permits for expat workers introduced

In Kuwait, the Public Authority for Manpower has introduced a new “multiple-trip exit permit” service for expat workers, Gulf News reports.

The initiative is intended to simplify procedures, improve efficiency, and reduce administrative burdens for employers and employees, according to local media reporting.

It is reportedly part of a wider governmental push to digitise public services and modernise labour-related processes. 

For the first time, the upgraded system allows workers to obtain a permit covering multiple exits and re-entries within a specified time period, rather than being limited to a single-use permit. 

Officials said the change would significantly reduce the need for repetitive applications for frequent travellers.

The authority reportedly stated that the service is electronically integrated with the Ministry of Interior’s systems, enabling approved permits to be transmitted automatically. After approval, employers and workers can print the permit at any time.
