Kuwait Mandates KD150 Work Permit Fee, Ending Exemptions

Kuwait is changing how it handles work visas.

Previously, certain groups didn't have to pay a fee when they transferred their work permits.

Now, everyone has to pay a standard fee of KD150.

This includes places like hospitals, schools, and charities.

The government wants to make sure everyone is treated the same.

They're also speeding up these changes, so there won't be extra reviews.

The goal is to have clearer rules for all workers in Kuwait.
