In organizational move aimed at strengthening the oversight of the movement of expatriate workers and ensuring a balance between the rights of workers and employers, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah issued a ministerial circular requiring expatriate workers in the private sector to obtain an “exit permit” from their registered employers before leaving the country.

The Public Authority of Manpower announced that, in implementation of the ministerial circular issued by the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, expatriate workers must submit an exit permit request to their employer, including their personal information and the specified travel date, using the official form approved by the Authority.
The Authority emphasized that this measure aims to regulate the departure process of expatriate workers, ensure their compliance with legal regulations, protect the rights of workers and employers, and reduce violations associated with leaving the country without prior notice.
