Kuwait: Civil Service Commission to review expatriate work permits

Kuwait Times, 9 October 2022: The Kuwaiti Civil Service Commission (CSC) has announced plans to review the employment documents of expatriate workers and deport anyone without valid work permits. 

The CSC has set out a three-step plan starting with continuous inspection campaigns which will see any violators immediately deported and sponsors having to pay deportation expenses and any other fees.

The third step will be to only issue work permits for necessary jobs, subject to professional tests.
