Decision Expected Soon
KUWAIT CITY, Sept 30: The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor is expected to issue a decision in the next few days to allow expatriates under government contracts to transfer to another sponsor after spending three consecutive years with the current sponsor, instead of five years, only if the contract expires, reports Al-Watan Arabic daily quoting sources.
Sources clarified this is one of several decisions the ministry is currently preparing for the full implementation of the new labor law in the private sector.
Sources said the ministry will also issue a directive to organize the transfer of residence permits for expatriate workers in the private sector. Sources explained the new law allows foreign workers, who entered the country after the issuance of the new decision, to transfer to another sponsor after spending one year with the current sponsor. Sources added those who entered the country prior to the issuance of the decision can transfer to another sponsor anytime with the approval of the current sponsor. - http://www.arabtimesonline.com
