The First Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahd Al-Youssef issued a decision to cancel Article No. 1 of the Public Authority for Manpower Decision No. 294 of 2023, which stipulated the mandatory 250 Dinar fee and insurance for expatriates above 60 years of age without university degree for renewing their residency.
According to report, the Minister Sheikh Fahd issued a decision cancelling this requirement, which mandate the expatriates above 60 years of age without university to spend around 900 KD for their residency renewal every year.
According to report, this new decision will result in return to the old system that allows these workers (60 years old and above) who hold less than university degrees, to renew their work permits or transfer them to another employer, without paying these fees.
