Kuwait has announced a new policy to facilitate travel for foreign workers by introducing the multiple trip exit permit. The Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) revealed that this initiative aims to simplify travel procedures and reduce administrative burdens.
Under the new system, foreign workers can leave Kuwait multiple times during a specified period without applying for a separate exit permit each time. This multiple trip exit facility is designed to save time and make travel easier for employees and employers alike.
The permit will be issued for a set duration, and applications can be submitted online through the Ashal portal. Workers can select the type of multiple trip exit permit that suits their travel needs. The digital system is part of Kuwait’s broader efforts to modernize public services and improve efficiency.
Officials highlighted that the new policy will benefit thousands of foreign workers living in Kuwait. The simplified travel process ensures that employees can visit their home countries or travel for personal reasons without repeated paperwork.
Employers are also expected to benefit, as the system reduces delays in employee travel and streamlines administrative tasks. PAM emphasized that the initiative is a step toward making Kuwait a more worker-friendly country while maintaining regulatory oversight.
The government has encouraged all foreign workers to familiarize themselves with the online application process. Authorities confirmed that the system is secure and will ensure that all permits are issued in compliance with labor laws.
The introduction of the multiple trip exit permit marks a significant improvement in Kuwait’s labor and immigration policies. It reflects the government’s commitment to easing mobility for foreign workers while maintaining effective monitoring of entries and exits.
This initiative is expected to enhance productivity and reduce bureaucratic hurdles, offering a smoother travel experience for the foreign workforce in Kuwait.
