Acting Director of the Public Authority for Manpower Ahmad Al-Mousa said the authority is continuing to issue work permits according to administrative decision (747/2015) that was issued regarding permits and its amendments, adding that the authority has not discussed the issue of banning the issuance of permits to workers below 30 years of age, especially since it is not the only department concerned with issuing such decisions.
Earlier it was reported that the state department concerned with labor affairs were mulling a decision to suspend the issuance of work permits to foreigners who are under the age of 30.
