Kuwait Launches New Electronic Exit Permit Service via “Sahel” Apps – A Step Toward Smarter Workforce Management
In a significant step toward digital transformation and workforce empowerment, the Public Authority of Manpower in Kuwait has officially launched a new electronic exit permit service through the widely-used “Sahel” and “Sahel Business” mobile applications. This service is specifically designed to serve workers under Article (18), which primarily covers expatriates working in the private sector.
A Game-Changer for Workers and Employers
Previously, the process of obtaining an exit permit involved time-consuming paperwork, physical visits to government departments, and coordination between workers and their employers. Recognizing the challenges this posed—especially in a fast-paced and increasingly digital world—Kuwait’s government has taken a major leap by moving this critical service online.
Now, with just a few taps on their smartphone, workers can submit their exit permit requests directly via the “Sahel” app. The application is intuitive, user-friendly, and available in multiple languages to accommodate the diverse expat community in Kuwait. Once submitted, the request is instantly routed to the respective employer for review and approval.
Empowering Employers with Sahel Business
On the other end, employers can easily manage and respond to these requests through the “Sahel Business” app. This not only simplifies the administrative burden on companies but also fosters greater transparency and accountability in employer-employee interactions.
The new digital service is a win-win:
- For workers, it offers greater autonomy, speed, and convenience.
- For employers, it ensures smoother workflows and better record-keeping.
Aligning with Vision 2035
This move is also in line with Kuwait’s broader vision for digital transformation and smart governance under Kuwait Vision 2035. By integrating such services into mobile platforms, the country is working toward more efficient, citizen-focused governance that reduces bureaucracy and embraces innovation.

A Human-Centered Shift
More than just a technological upgrade, this service represents a shift in mindset—acknowledging the dignity of workers, the need for transparency, and the importance of mutual respect between employers and employees. It reflects a growing awareness that technology should not only serve institutions but also uplift the individuals at the heart of the system.
This development is already being welcomed by the expat community and businesses alike. For many, it’s a small yet meaningful sign that Kuwait is moving toward a more inclusive, responsive, and digitally empowered future.
