Egyptians' Work Visas Are Still Suspended

According to the Kuwait Society of Engineers, relevant government agencies will develop more procedures for recruiting specialized workers abroad, particularly from Egypt and India, with the help of a number of public benefit associations. However, an official source in the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) revealed that the suspension of the issuance of work permits for Egyptian workers will continue until further notice, based on the instructions of the Minister of Interior.

He said, “Any talk about opening recruitment to companies from Egypt is incorrect, as the closure is still ongoing until work permit procedures are organized and the process of selling residencies through Egyptian employment agencies is regulated.” The source stated that, “The recruitment of specialized labor, especially engineers, from India is regulated by the agreed processes followed by the Kuwait Society of Engineers, based on the agreements related to the accreditation of universities there. Kuwait had requested a visit to India to see some universities and their teaching methods. In addition, another delegation of educational and technical bodies will travel to Egypt soon for this purpose.

As for the issuance of entry visas for workers of other nationalities, the decision is based on the need for employment among companies, as well as the continued flow of domestic workers from several countries. In terms of commercial visas, the source said they were issued based on internal controls. The conversion of a commercial visa into a work permit is incorrect, because these visas are intended for companies to bring in some of their delegations or specialists for a temporary period. The validity period of this document is one month, and it can be extended for another month if necessary.
