The daily quoting informed sources affirmed that no decision would be issued to prohibit transfer of the aforementioned age group in private sector, while the department managers confirmed receiving verbal instructions to apply the decision and prevent the transfer of only those who do not have university degree and exceeding age 65 but they’ll continue to renew the work permit for the sponsor himself.

The same sources stated that those over 65 years old having accredited university degrees are allowed to transfer and renew the work permit but some employees have started refusing related transactions despite the absence of formal or verbal instructions for that purpose.
