The residency renewal of residents aged 60 and above without a degree will see deep-rooted solutions soon after being delayed for more than a year.

Quoting high-ranking sources, Al-Jarida daily reported that the Minister of Justice and State Minister for Integrity Affairs Jamal Al-Jalawi has this issue among his priorities and is keen on finding solutions as soon as possible.

According to report, the minister is waiting for a Cabinet decree to transfer the jurisdiction of some government authorities to other entities, including the Public Authority for Manpower, which was under the commerce and industry minister and is now under the justice minister.

The sources expected renewal fees to be KD 1,000 to KD 1,100 per year, including health insurance.
